gee, only a year after sirius/sprint deal. a little behind are we xm?

lmfao, the 5th largest cell company?

why not say, "the only cell company with less customers than t-mobile."

what a joke!

Cool Alltel(The nations largest network) has teamed up with the nations largest sat. radio carrier. They started offering music earlier this year and I asked some reps who provided it and it wasn't XM or Sirius and I told them that it would probably end up being either one and sure enough.....

This is a pretty cool deal for XM, I am amazed it took this long. Sirius has supposedly had good success with Sprint.

Anyways, while Alltel may have the largest network they are one of the smaller providers such as US Cellular (I don't think there are any around here).

So, this will be a dollar more per month than Sprint is offering for Sirius?

I have Sirius with Sprint. Sound quality depends on phone but mine is fine with headphones.

Like most streaming apps on any carrier you do get charged minutes(night minutes are still included though so use away all night).

SQ is not bad at all! I wish it were louder though. I compared the delay of an OEM install and through XM mobile....and they are two different streams it seems like or either it's delayed by 2-3 songs. I just wish it were louder, or maybe thats just my phone....

RealWX....it's also $1 more than Axcess Radio(Alltel's own streaming music service). Why? who knows, but I'll still keep it for the month.

Note: It's highly recommended that you have a EVDO phone before you get this, if you don't then you will have to deal with some delays when connecting(5 seconds vs 15).

alltel is not sold nationwide. lmfao!

Really. Alltel is the nations largest network. I seriously didn't know that.

But then again we don't have alltel servce where I am at. At least that is what there webpage says. Philadelphia must not be considered a viable market.

With most modern networks these days, the data and voice elements are separately charged, so I can't imagine you'd be charged minutes for using the application.

I will most likely discontinue my XM service at the end of the year. I looked this over at alltel.com. My girlfriend likes some of the channels. I don't think it's worth $7.99/mo and the use of air time.

Alltel charged the 7.99 subscription and charged you airtime while using any applications that use Data. Anything on your phone that uses data is tacked onto airtime. I find it great because I have 2000 minutes, but never use them all and don't want to pay data. For an extra $10 a month, you get unlimited data with no airtime usage.

While this is interesting, why wouldn't you just use an XM program linke minixm or xstreamxm to do this? I know it is against the terms of the contract, but it works right!

I can imagine it being a bit choppy and low quality like the web clients now...
