I would NOT recommend Alltel. They have way too many "dead spots" in their coverage. I've had T-Mobile for appx 2 years & am very happy w/them. I chose the 600 anytime/anywhere minutes for $39.99 (bill actually ends up being $48 total). The things I like is their coverage area is pretty good & with any time/any where, you don't have to worry about call times etc.. I would suggest going to the Rock Road (North 2900 block?) store for your plan. You can probably talk them into an upgraded phone like a flip/camera. They will also carry your existing phone # over.
