why do you think vzw is divesting some of their markets??? the FCC wouldnt allow a monopoly to ever take place. this is why verizon and other larger corporations are either forced to divest their market share or do it own their own because if they didnt then the aquisition would never get approver

Alltel did fail, they have 10 billion worth of debt that verizon wireless is assuming when the deal goes through

EXACTLY! #19 is wrong. Alltel had been in a deep pile of green #$% (about 10 mil.) from using Verizon's roaming network or something. The My Circle plan was losing them money, and debts we're piling up. By Verizon buying them, the 10 mil would be forgiven, and customers and employees can happily come together under the VZW name. Except Chad, he'll have to go.

If its a circle, why can u only call 5 people... the point of a circle is so u can call everyone...

Get your facts straight. DEPENDING on the plan you can call 1, 5, 10 or 20 numbers. Have you been living under a rock with no television because the damn add is run all the time.

Nah, if theres one thing Verizon is weak on its their commercials. ATT definitely has some smart writers over on their end of the block.
