Tthe company said the employees worked in service activation.
Alltel spokesman David Avery said up to 20 workers may be rehired
for the customer service department located in the same center.

the telecommunications company and a resulting plan to consolidate
call centers.

are selling Alltel service. Alltel`s three other retail activation
centers are in Little Rock, Virginia Beach, and Phoenix.
