Thank you for your question on mobile banking for carriers such as Sprint and Alltel.   We are pleased to announce that as of September 24th, Alltel Wireless has been certified to support the Arvest Mobile Banking service.  So, currently AT&T, Alltel and Verizon are the primary carriers supported for our mobile banking product.  We have received questions about other carriers such as T-Mobile, US Cellular and Sprint.  We are also anxious to be able to provide mobile banking to the customers all wireless carriers.
 
Due to the importance and sensitivity of your banking data, Arvest mobile banking depends on encrypted transmissions over the wireless carrier's network and this is why not all carriers are currently supported.  Our mobile banking partner, Firethorn, is in negotiations with several wireless carriers and we are very hopeful additional carriers will be added in the near future.   In addition to the carriers, Firethorn is constantly working on supporting additional devices.
 
We want to keep you informed of any new announcements in regards to new wireless carriers or devices (iPhone is a popular question) as we learn of developments.  At that time we will certainly add the news to the blog, our main website, and to www.arvestmobile.com.  As a reminder, with Arvest Mobile Banking, you can securely check balances, transfer funds and pay bills, all from your mobile phone and you sign up for service inside our web banking service.
