Merger/Phones question
Quick question. I hate to be that guy, but I don't feel like reading every thread posted here so I just want to ask a simple question. If/when this merger takes place, will I be able to but a Verizon phone and stay on an Alltel plan? Verizon clearly has better phones but i like the plans/service of Alltel. If so, when would be the earliest I can expect to do this. I am able to upgrade whenever.

I would have to say no as when you buy the phone it will require a new contract if you buy it from a store and not at full cash price. You can buy VZ phones now and put them on alltel..

Ducati are you sure you can put a VZ phone on Alltel now. I know you can put a Alltel on VZ but I was told not the other way. I was at one of the Alltel stores last week and the manager was tring to put a alltel on for a customer but he could not get it to work

I do know you can do this with smart phones the ESN must be added to the pool, Now with normal phones I can not say as they are not my specality.

Alltel's policy is ONLY Alltel phones - Yes other carriers phones may work - I have seen it time after time non-Alltel phones result in HUGE roaming bills and angry customers. Until the merger Alltel's network is only for Alltel phones.

So, let me get this straight. If I wanted to, when that new Blackberry Storm is available, I can go get it at VZ and sign a new contract with Alltel to get it at the 2 year contract price?

No, you'd have to get a contract with verizon.

thats correct you would then get a Verizon contract. I would wait till the merger is done. I know in my area there is not Verizon around so I would have to go close 5hrs away to get one and then my number could not be ported over. But if I wait till the merger is done then I could do that
