                   Report of Independent Public Accountants


To the Administrative Committee of the
Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of
ALLTEL Information Services, Inc.
and its Affiliates:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of ALLTEL Information
Services, Inc. and its Affiliates (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements and the
schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Administrative
Committee.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Administrative Committee, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Plan expires on
June 18, 1996.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
statements taken as a whole.  Supplemental Schedules I and II are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                           DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of ALLTEL Information Services, Inc.
     and its Affiliates (the "Plan") was established by ALLTEL Information 
     Services, Inc. (the "Company") on June 18, 1991 to allow the Company's 
     employees to acquire ALLTEL Corporation common stock.  The Plan will
     automatically terminate on June 18, 1996.  On March 5, 1996, the 
     Administrative Committee approved a recommendation not to renew the Plan
     beyond the June 18, 1996 termination date.

     All full time employees are eligible to participate in the Plan. 
     Participants' contributions to the Plan may be made in $5 increments per
     pay period with a minimum of $5 per pay period or $10 per month, but may
     not exceed 10% of compensation for that pay period, 5% of total 
     compensation for the year or $25,000 in any single year.  The Company 
     will contribute an amount equal to 15% of the purchase price so that the
     effective price to the employee is 85% of the prevailing market price.

     Shares are purchased on the open market at the prevailing price within
     five business days of each bi-weekly pay period.  Participant and Company
     contributions are allocated to the participants' individual accounts and 
     are fully and immediately vested at the time of allocation.  Distributions
     of stock will be made for any participant account which has 25 shares or 
     greater on June 30 and for all participants on December 31 for each full
     share allocated to their individual accounts.  Stock and uninvested funds

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     Financial Statement Presentation (continued)

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires the Administrative Committee to
     make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, 
     liabilities, contributions and distributions.  The estimates and 
     assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon
     the Administrative Committee's evaluation of the relevant facts and 
     circumstances as of the date of the financial statements.  Actual results
     may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the 
     financial statements.

     Investment Transactions

     Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis.
     The investment in ALLTEL Corporation common stock is stated at market
     value based on the last reported sales price on the last business day of
     the Plan year.  Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments
     is reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for
     plan benefits.

     Dividends

     Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     Contributions

     The Plan accrues for contributions in the year the related employee
     contributions are withheld from the Company's payroll.

     Distributions

     The Plan recognizes distributions based on the date the shares are 
     payable to participants.

3.   RELATED PARTIES

     The Company absorbs all costs of the Plan such as trustee fees, 
     accounting, general and administrative costs and is not reimbursed by the
     Plan.

4.   INCOME TAXES

     The Plan conforms with the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 
     423.  Accordingly, the Plan is not subject to income taxes.  Additionally,
     the Company's contribution is tax-exempt to the employee if the stock is
     held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant or a minimum of one
     year from the date of transfer.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and Administrator of the
    ALLTEL Corporation Thrift Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits with fund information of the ALLTEL Corporation Thrift Plan (the
"Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits with fund information for the year
ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements and the schedules
referred to below are the responsibility of the ALLTEL Corporation Pension and
Benefit Committee in its capacity as administrator of the Plan (the
"Administrator").  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Administrator, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits with fund
information of the Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in 
its net assets available for benefits with fund information for the year ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  Supplemental Schedules I and II are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund
information in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund information
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                        ALLTEL CORPORATION THRIFT PLAN

             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES

                             DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

1.  PLAN MERGERS

    Prior to January 1, 1995, the ALLTEL Corporation Thrift Plan (the "Plan")
    was referred to as the Thrift Plan and Trust for Employees of Systematics
    Information Services, Inc. and Participating Affiliates.  Effective
    December 31, 1994, the CP National Corporation Incentive Thrift Savings
    Plan, the Houston Wire and Cable Company Combination Profit Sharing and
    Salary Deferral Plan, the Computer Power, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan,
    and the TDS Healthcare Systems Corporation Profit Sharing Plan
    (the "merged plans") were merged with and into the Plan.  Effective with
    this merger, the general provisions of the Plan govern with respect to the
    interests of the participants of the merged plans, to the extent not
    inconsistent with any provision of the merged plans that may not be
    eliminated under Section 411(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC").

2.  PLAN AND TRUST DESCRIPTION

    The following is a brief description of the Plan and the administration
    thereof and is provided for general information purposes only. Participants
    should refer to the plan document or the summary plan description for a
    more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

    General

    The Plan is a defined contribution employee benefit plan which covers
    substantially all employees of ALLTEL Information Services, Inc. (formerly
    Systematics Information Services, Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
    and employees of HWC Distribution Corp.  ALLTEL Information Services, Inc.
    and HWC Distribution Corp., (referred to collectively as the "Participating
    Companies"), are wholly-owned subsidiaries of ALLTEL Corporation ("ALLTEL").
    The Plan sponsor is ALLTEL.  The Plan is designed as a savings plan to
    assist employees in planning for retirement.  All full-time employees of
    the Participating Companies are eligible to participate in the Plan after
    attaining the age of 21.  

    Administration

    The Plan is administered by the ALLTEL Corporation Pension and Benefits
    Committee (the "Administrative Committee") appointed by ALLTEL's Board of
    Directors.  NationsBank of Texas, N.A. (the "Trustee") is the trustee of
    the Plan.

    Benefit Payments

    Participants or their beneficiaries, as applicable, are entitled to receive
    the vested balance of their Plan account when they retire at age 65 or
    later, if they become permanently disabled, upon death or upon separation
    from service with the Participating Companies.  The Plan permits early
    retirements between ages 55 and 64 provided that required service levels
    have been met.  If a participant's account balance exceeds $3,500,
    participants may elect to receive the distributions in a lump-sum payment,
    in installment payments or a combination of both.  If a participant's
    account balance is equal to or less than $3,500, the account will be
    distributed in a lump-sum payment.

    Additionally, participants may withdraw funds, with the approval of the
    Administrative Committee, from their Plan account for "hardship" reasons as
    defined by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS").

    Plan Contributions

    Each year, participants may contribute up to 10% of their pretax annual
    compensation, as defined in the Plan agreement.  Participant contributions
    are subject to certain dollar limitations established by the IRS, which
    was $9,240 for both 1995 and 1994.  The Participating Companies, at their
    discretion, may contribute an amount equal to 25% of every participant
    dollar contributed that is not in excess of 6% of the participant's
    compensation for the Plan year.  Such contributions are funded annually
    following the Plan's year-end.  The Participating Companies may make
    additional matching contributions over and above the 25% discretionary
    amount.  Effective October 31, 1994, the Plan was amended and restated to
    allow any eligible employee who was a participant in a plan qualified under
    Section 401 of the IRC and who receives a cash distribution from such plan
    to make a rollover contribution to the Plan if he or she is entitled under
    Section 402(c)(1) or Section 408(d)(3)(A) of the IRC to rollover such
    distribution to another qualified retirement plan.

    Vesting and Benefits

    Participants are fully vested in their employee contributions, matching
    employer contributions and the accumulated earnings thereon.  Participants
    may elect upon termination of employment to defer payment of their account
    balance if it exceeds $3,500.  The Plan's obligation for the undistributed
    net assets of former employees approximated $10,290,000 and $5,074,000 as
    of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  As of December 31, 1995, the
    Plan had approximately $205,000 of pending distributions to participants
    who elected to withdraw from the Plan.  These amounts are recorded as
    liabilities and benefit payments in the Form 5500; however, these amounts
    are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles.  As of December 31, 1995 and
    1994, 6,933 and 7,129 employees, respectively, were participating in the
    Plan.

    Plan Termination

    While it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Administrative
    Committee has the right to terminate the Plan.  In the event that the Plan
    is terminated:

      (a) the interest of all affected participants shall be fully vested and
          nonforfeitable as of the date of the Plan's termination, and
      (b) each participant shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of
          his account balance in cash or in assets of the Plan as the Trustee
          shall determine.

    Participants in the Plan are entitled to certain rights and protection
    under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Financial Statement Presentation

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
    basis of accounting.  The financial statements and supplementary Schedules
    I and II have been prepared to satisfy the reporting and disclosure
    requirements of ERISA.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
    to conform with the current year financial statement presentation.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires the Administrative Committee to
    make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets,
    liabilities, contributions and distributions.  The estimates and assumptions
    used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon the
    Administrative Committee's evaluation of the relevant facts and
    circumstances as of the date of the financial statements.  Actual results
    may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the
    financial statements.

    Investments

    During 1995, participants directed their contributions among the following
    investment options, and were allowed to change their investment elections
    subject to certain restrictions imposed by the funds and the Plan.  A brief
    description of each investment option is provided below:

         ALLTEL Corporation Common Stock Fund -  Contributions to this fund are
         used to purchase shares of ALLTEL common stock in the open market.

         Federated Automated Government Money Trust -  Contributions to this
         money market fund are principally invested in short-term United States
         Treasury obligations.

         Federated Max-Cap Fund -  Contributions to this fund are invested in
         institutional shares of the Federated Index Trust, an open-ended,
         management investment company.  This fund attempts to duplicate the
         composition and total return of the publicly traded common stocks
         comprising the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500").

         Federated Stock and Bond Fund -  Contributions to this fund are
         invested in Class A shares of an open-end, diversified management
         investment company.  This fund invests primarily in stocks and bonds
         of larger, well-established companies and direct obligations of the
         United States Treasury and other governmental agencies.

         Federated U.S. Government Securities Fund -  Contributions to this fund
         are invested principally in United States Treasury obligations with
         original maturities of two to five years.

                                       ____

   
         Fidelity Equity-Income Fund -  This fund seeks reasonable income by
         investing primarily in income-producing equity securities.  The fund
         invests in common and preferred stocks (approximately 80% of its
         portfolio) and debt securities (approximately 20% of its portfolio)
         whose yields exceed the composite yield of the S&P 500, have rising or
         above-average dividends or share potential for future dividend growth.

         Fidelity Magellan Fund -  This fund seeks long-term capital
         appreciation through investment in common stocks and convertible
         securities of domestic, foreign and multinational companies.

    The Plan also holds investments in three other funds.  The Plan does not
    permit any additional contributions or investments to be made to these
    funds.  Participants may elect to transfer amounts invested in the
    Government Investment Contract Fund and the NationsBank Real Estate
    Collective Fund to one of the other investment options, subject to certain
    restrictions imposed by the funds and the Plan.  A brief description of
    each of these other funds is as follows:

         Government Investment Contract Fund (previously reported as the
         Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Guaranteed Income Fund) -  The
         assets of this fund consist of cash and investments made in the Bankers
         Trust Pyramid Open-End Government Investment Contract Fund, a
         commingled common trust fund.

         Boatmen's Investment Services, Inc. Money Market Fund (previously
         reported as the Kemper Money Market Fund) -  The assets of this fund
         are invested in money market securities, and may be withdrawn only at
         the time a participant withdraws from the Plan.

         NationsBank Real Estate Collective Fund  -  The assets of this fund
         consisted principally of cash and other short-term investments.  This
         fund was liquidated during 1995.

    Any excess cash in the above investment funds is automatically invested
    daily by the Trustee into the Nations Cash Reserves Money Market Fund, a
    short-term investment fund.  Assets consist mainly of corporate demand
    notes, commercial paper and short-term U.S. Government securities.  The
    carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of
    these investments.

    Investments are stated at their fair value as determined by the Trustee.
    Securities traded on a national exchange are valued at their quoted market
    price on the last business day of the year.  Investment contracts are
    reported at contract value.  The net appreciation (depreciation) in fair
    value of investments in the accompanying statement of changes in net
    assets available for benefits with fund information reflects the net
    difference between the market value and the cost of investments bought
    during the year and the net difference between the market value and the
    beginning of the year market value of assets held, sold or distributed.

    In conjunction with the plan mergers discussed in Note 1, certain of the
    Plan's investment options were changed to exclude certain investment options
    which existed at December 31, 1994.  The net assets available for benefits
    of these closed investment funds (the "Closed Investment Funds") as of
    December 31, 1994 were as follows:

              Investment Fund
              Federated Capital Preservation Fund                $ 13,661,368

              INVESCO Industrial Income Fund                        4,411,591
                Total                                             $51,767,770

    Effective January 1, 1995, the balances in all of the Closed Investment
    Funds were transferred to the Federated Automated Government Money Trust
    Fund.

    Plan Expenses

    As outlined in the Plan document, expenses related to the Plan's operation
    are paid from Plan assets unless ALLTEL elects to pay these expenses.
    ALLTEL paid all administrative expenses related to the Plan in 1995.

4.  PARTICIPANT LOANS

    Participants of the Plan can borrow from the Plan amounts not to exceed 50%
    of the participant's vested balance, up to a maximum loan amount of $50,000.
    Such loans are allowed only for specific purposes and must be repaid
    through payroll deductions within five years, unless used to purchase a
    principal residence.  Loans bear interest at rates determined by the
    Administrative Committee upon execution of the loan.

5.  EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

    Contributions in the amount of $3,366,900 due to the Plan from the
    Participating Companies had not been funded or allocated among the Plan's
    funds as of December 31, 1995.

6.  RECEIVABLE FROM INVESCO

    Included in the assets transferred from the TDS Healthcare Systems
    Corporation Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 1994, was a receivable
    in the amount of $8,163,119 from INVESCO, which represented the proceeds
    from the sale of certain investment funds which had not been received as of
    that date.

7.  PLAN AMENDMENTS

    During 1995, the following amendments to the Plan agreement were adopted:

         1   Provided for the merger of the TDS Healthcare Systems Corporation
             Profit Sharing Plan with and into the Plan, effective December 31,
             1994.

         2   Provided for the transfer of assets from the Plan to one or more
             qualified plans designated by Citizens Utilities Company
             ("Citizens").  The transfer of assets was authorized in conjunction
             with the sale of certain telephone properties by ALLTEL to
             Citizens.  As a result of the sale, certain employees of ALLTEL
             were transferred to Citizens and were no longer participants of
             the Plan.  Also, provided that a participant who voluntarily
             suspends his/her salary deferral contribution will not be
             considered an active participant.  A participant may resume
             contributions and regain active status upon the exercise of
             certain procedures, as prescribed by the Administrator.

         3   Provided for the transfer of assets into the Plan from a qualified
             plan administered by Citizens ("Citizens Plan").  The transfer of
             assets was in conjunction with the sale of certain telephone
             properties by Citizens to ALLTEL.  As a result of the sale,
             certain employees of Citizens were transferred to ALLTEL and became
             participants of the Plan.  Effective with the transfer, the general
             provisions of the Plan govern with respect to the interests of the
             former employees of Citizens, to the extent not inconsistent with
             any provision of the Citizens Plan that may not be eliminated under
             Section 411(d)(6) of the IRC.  Also, provided for the transfer of
             assets from the Plan to one or more qualified plans designated by
             FIserve, Inc. ("FIserve").  The transfer of assets was authorized
             in conjunction with the sale of ALLTEL's check processing
             operations to FIserve.  As a result of the sale, certain employees
             of ALLTEL were transferred to FIserve and were no longer
             participants of the Plan.  Finally, provided for the merger of the
             Vertex Business Systems, Inc. 401(k) Employee Savings Plan with
             and into the Plan, effective January 1, 1996.

8.  TAX STATUS

    The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS dated
    October 4, 1995, which states that the Plan, as restated January 1, 1994,
    is "qualified" for the purposes of Section 401(a) of the IRC.  Amendments
    Nos. 1 through 3 have not yet been filed with the IRS.  The Administrative
    Committee is of the opinion that the Plan, as amended, is designed and
    operating in accordance with applicable IRS requirements, and therefore,
    Plan income, subject to certain limitations, remains exempt from federal
    income taxes.  Employer contributions and income of the Plan are not taxable
    to the participants until withdrawals or distributions are made.

9.  TRANSFER OF ASSETS FROM OTHER PLANS

    During 1995, ALLTEL sold certain telephone properties in Arizona,
    California, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia to
    Citizens in exchange for cash and certain telephone properties in
    Pennsylvania.  Under terms of the sales agreement, assets in the amount of
    $3,596,159 were transferred from the Plan to a qualified plan administered
    by Citizens.  The assets transferred represented the vested account balances
    of the former ALLTEL employees who became employees of Citizens.  Similarly,
    assets in the amount of $204,315 were transferred to the Plan from Citizens.
    The transferred assets represented the vested account balances of the former
    Citizens employees who became employees of ALLTEL and participants of the
    Plan.

    Also during 1995, ALLTEL sold its check processing operations to FIserve.
    Under terms of the sales agreement, assets in the amount of $1,718,332 were
    transferred from the Plan to a qualified plan administered by FIserve.  The
    assets transferred represented the vested account balances of the former
    ALLTEL employees who became employees of FIserve.
