I have a samsung sch-u340 under my carrier Alltel and I am due for an upgrade in August. My contract ends in December. I want the Blackberry Pearl but I do not know what do to get the pearl. It would help me if any Alltel Employes or alltel members with the same knowledge. Would I just tell them when I upgrade, would I have to pay retail . On the Alltel site it says The Pearl is free with a contract. Thank You for your answers. Please answer????

All you have to do is get online and speak to someone about how to go about doing the switch over. They will charge you for the phone but nothing for the upgrade.
