I'm telling you becasue they have a name tag with VZW on it that gives them the ability to know everyting in the wireless world. Nto sure why Alltel would be converting anything to VZW since they do not own they yet and the paper work has been filled with the FCC and they hope to address them by the end of the year. http://forums.wirelessadvisor.com/wireless-news/71755-fcc-clear-verizon-wireless-vzw-alltel.html

Ok, that just show's your complete ignorance. If you're really converting billing in the north east it's a violation of SEC regulations and VERY illegal. Having gone through MANY mergers myself the FIRST THING plastered all over everything is NOT to team or work together until the deal is approved (especially billing systems and customers' private information). If they are truly doing this, please post the locations so the SEC can be notified of this illegal activity.

It is true that Verizon Wireless is integrating certain Alltel markets into their network, notably including the Litchfield, CT market as the most recent one. However, these markets were purchased independantly and PRIOR to the Alltel purchase; in other words, these markets were previously bought from Alltel and are now being converted, as opposed to being the first phase in a complete Alltel conversion. As such this violates no SEC or FCC regulations. Official opinion inside of VZW is currently that the Alltel transaction will go through. Is there a possibility that, in light of recent developments, it will not be allowed to do so? Certainly.

What's with Verizon fanboys and always out there defending their company and taking smears at everyone else? Everytime I read a AT&T thread there are Verizon fanboys in there bragging, and smearing. Same happens in Sprint threads. Guess that shows that their average intelligence is somewhere between horse shit and a pig.

I guess sales must be down in VZW country becasue there seems to be a lot more of them on here recently. Most of which start out by saying "I work for VZW" so everything they say is correct and can not be argued so don't even try. It is almost cult like they way they act some times. Not sure if it is the training they receive or what but most of them are some arrogant a#$%&@s if you ask me. Maybe if they would stop blogging BS all day on phone arena they would not loss as many sales to AT&T. Just a thought!

Of course AT&T and Sprint don't have these "fanboys" who would never ever say anything negative about VZW in a VZW post, oh heavens no! Please, get over yourself and quit acting like fanboys are exclusive to VZW.

you guys wait, once the hype of the iphone goes away they will be switching back to verizon. ppl are idiots for switching just for a phone. id say just get an ipod touch! its just about everything without the phone calls and then you can keep verizon as yoru cell phone. where i live, "gayt&t didnt work for me" and if everyone is only switching just for the iphone, thats saying at&t has all crap for other phones ;-) sarah palin heart

I have been a VZW customer for years. While the service is acceptable, I would switch in a minute if anyone else had good coverage where i live. AT&T, Sprint & T-Mobile have better phones and plans than VZW. Hopefully, this loss of customers from VZW will force them to improve and help us saps who have to choice but to stay on VZW.

I am going to wait until Macworld. If they do not announce a IPhone for Verizon, I am switching to ATT.
