COLUMBIA, S.C., Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- South Carolina
residents now have even more places to find the best products and
services to meet their wireless needs. AT&T1 has
upgraded the former Alltel retail locations in the state and opened
them under the AT&T brand.
AT&T wants everyone who walks through the door of an
AT&T store to receive smart, friendly and fast service. In
fact, J.D. Power recently awarded AT&T the "Highest
Satisfaction with the Purchase Experience among Full-Service
Wireless Providers, Three Times in a Row" in its 2014, Volume 2

Rebranding Alltel's retail stores is just the first step.

Georgia to combine the strength of
Alltel's local coverage with AT&T's 4G LTE network, the most
reliable 4G LTE network in the nation, covering more than 300
million people.3
In early 2015, more than 70,000 former Alltel wireless customers
in South Carolina will begin using
new devices that work on AT&T's network. AT&T will let
