Alltel (NYSE:AT), owner of America's largest wireless network,
announced today that it is offering parents a free mobile Web
content filter to protect children from accessing potentially
inappropriate Internet sites via their Alltel wireless phones.
"Wireless customers are increasingly using their handsets to surf
the Internet, and at Alltel we recognize that we have a
responsibility to help parents protect their children from
inappropriate content," said Scott Ford, Alltel president and chief
executive officer. "While no content filter is perfect, the service
that we are announcing today will go a long way toward insuring a
more family-friendly mobile Web for our customers and their
children." Account holders can use Alltel's Axcess Web Parental
Controls to block a handset's ability to search the broader mobile
Web while leaving it with access to family-friendly sites approved
by Alltel. Additionally, account holders can choose whether or not
to block access to Internet chat rooms. The content filter is free
and may be added to any wireless account by calling Alltel
technical support at 1-800-255-8351. Alltel is owner and operator
of the nation's largest wireless network and has more than 10
million wireless customers. Alltel, NYSE: AT www.alltel.com
