Altell Wireless is offering its customers yet another reason to find benefit in their services with the addition of LBS (location based services) Nationwide Roaming.

 

The new availability will make it possible for customers with GPS-capable handsets to use any of Alltel's (News - Alert) navigation and location based applications nationwide.

 

"Through LBS Nationwide Roaming, our customers are able to use a GPS application when it matters most, especially when they are in unfamiliar territory," said Kristi Crum, director of multimedia content for Alltel Wireless in a statement to the press.

 

 "LBS Nationwide Roaming is another example of Alltel recognizing the needs of its customers and delivering a solution."

 

As part of the new offering, customers are also offered LBS applications in more than 45 major metro areas.

 

For businesses with mobile workforces, this capability together with Alltel's TimecardGPS application will make it possible to track employee locations, record shift times and capture job or work order information for coast-to- coast locations.

Families can also find benefit in the nationwide roaming capabilities as it further enhances Alltel's Axcess Family Finder service for guiding or monitoring family member's locations.

Alltel's suite of currently available GPS applications includes TeleNav (News - Alert) GPS Navigator and Alltel Navigation.
