i got the delve from my nana. it had no service, so i got it hooked up at a place called prepaidzone. it was only $55 a month and it has unlimited everything. prepaidzone can hook up any verizon or alltel phone and has great plans.

i just bought a samsung delve off of ebay and when i went to the alltel store they told me that I didn’t need the smartplan contract but then the only thing i would be able to do is make phone calls and text but I don’t think the price i paid for is worth just that!! I agree, alltel is just trying to get money and sure hope verizon can change some things!! =(

I’m sure if you call customer service again you’ll find somebody who can help you. I have always found Alltel customer service to be fantastic.

I have to agree on the overall THUMBS DOWN for this phone. It looks and works great but the browser sucks and I was not told this was not a smart phone until I already opened a new contract for it. As soon as I heard SmartPlan they had me. lol Alltel is a very deceiving company, I sure hope when Verizon takes over some things change, for the better that is. I had rebate trouble as well, mine was called “invalid” because I printed the the wrong rebate sheet even though it was exactly the same as the correct one, I choose “bought delve on or before April 9th” instead of “bought delve on April 10th or after.” like I should of. The rebate itself was also deceiving. Thankfully my sales lady credited my account the $100 but all these free extras I’ve be hearing others have been getting with their delve I have not seen. AND, when I decided to add $30 a month to my plan for using my delve as a modem for my pc, my sales lady told me the delve was not capable of this, so I added a new line and bought the cheapest modem capable cell a motorola w315. So I had my 69.99 SmartChoice(bad choice) 500 but no free texts and only 5 my circle numbers. An extra $30 for modem capabilities and another $20 a month for additional line, and the $49.99 for the delve after the rebate debacle, and another $50 for the motorola. Turns out, THE DELVE IS MODEM CAPABLE!!! Yet the sales lady didn’t know it. Now, I’m stuck with a second line for 2 years, an extra fricking phone I don’t need! Now she gave me some BS about if I hadn’t ended another additional line I had last early, Alltel would of allowed me to cancel this new added line that I ONLY ASKED FOR because my Alltel rep screwed me into thinking my delve was not modem capable. UUUGHGHHHHH!! We’ll see how bad Verizon is with ripping off people, I was actually debating just getting a new carrier and REAL smartphone setup then just paying the “get out early” fees and end it with Alltel already, but I’ll wait to see if Verizon will bring in any morals that Alltel obviously is missing. VERY ANGRY. I have been an Alltel customer for over 4 years and they f-ed me again. lol

Boooooo Alltel, Booooo Samsung, Booooo Samsung/Altell Incentive Program – fail, fail, fail. This phone is horrible. Battery life is half a day IF you are lucky. Every time you go to use it, it will lock-up making you wait for about 40secs before it catches up, especially when trying to type in text. Good luck getting a anything but 2 bar signal into this tuurd. !!!!WORST PHONE I EVER BOUGHT, TOUCHED or LOOKED AT IN 13 YEARS!!!!!! Alltel service is worthless and the rebate is a freaking JOKE. Mail in your stuff and get back excuses as to why they can’t fufill thier side of the deal, from we didn’t get all the info, we can’t verify your account, we never recieved it, until ooops – sorry you didn’t submit in-time. $100 rebate and $150 in free acessories = 0 recieved and wasted money on a severly crippled phone you then cannot return because you “attempted” to “apply” (yet failed) to get a promised rebate. Out $300 clams and shafted by the man, that’s what you get with this worthless phone from a crummy manufacturer being pushed by a criminal supplier.

We gave the Delve back so I can’t help you with that. It was just too limited to pay for a data plan with that phone. I got the HTC Touch Pro which is fantastic
