Verizon & Alltel Merger Complete!!!!!

Well, as noted on the Verizon website...
Alltel has now "officially" merged with Verizon!

So that means all Verizon and Alltel customers can call each other for FREE, without using any minutes at all!
I know this may not effect everyone, but it will effect my cell phone bill ALOT!

I definitely understand! I had Cingular before, and right as they were merging with AT&T. I didn't have a dropped call with them until the very night I saw one of their commercials, talking about how they had "the lowest dropped calls in America". That was the first time I was bombarded with dropped calls! The service got so bad, as well as crummy customer service on the phone, that I ended up paying around 300 dollars to drop my service with them... then paying another few hundred dollars to set up a new plan and phones for my girlfriend at the time.
My service with Verizon is really the only good thing that came out of that mess. lol!

But now Sarah & I can call each other for free... so no more $100+ phone bills! Yay!

Re: Verizon & Alltel Merger Complete!!!!!

You have that right I never had a dropped call either until thet went (Cingular) went AT&T then I drop calls all the time just ask River Rat or Nana or WSD or my MIL my husband and daughter its misrible! Then I got a bad phone it was recalled but all they wont do anything but have me send mine in and they will send another just like it, I know a couple of people who have same phone they have to send it back every 6 weeks to 7 weeks I wont do that, and they wont let me upgrade early either (Feb) ! My contract is due then but, Jeff has already done his (Famliy plan)

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Awww... :-(

I'm sorry!
You go get them with your cute pirate avatar!
Sarah's also gone through 4 or 5 phones of the same model over the past few months. I feel bad for her. At least I'm off contract and I have the ability of either just paying month to month, like I'm doing now and eventually activating one of the other extra cell phones I have here with me... or just signing a new contract and getting a new phone altogether. I'm probably going to eventually do the latter, but I'm just kind of keeping my eye out for the right phone and the right plan. I think I can get a plan that has unlimited text & internet for the same price I'm paying right now, if I do end up upgrading. I'm just going to drop my min's down to the lowest amount, since I really don't need all of them anymore.

Hello, Bran glad to see that it is working out better for you now with the phones. They can be the cause of an awful lot of frustration and aggrivation, to say the least when thay don't work right.

Re: Verizon & Alltel Merger Complete!!!!!

Heh, heh... yep. Unfortunately, AT&T and T-Mobile are both GSM networks... while Verizon & Alltel are both CDMA networks (the new Blackberry Storm is both CDMA & GSM, for overseas travel)

The difference? Have you ever heard a "buzzz" in a phone, radio, or even an alarm clock (anything with a speaker) right before your phone either received a call or text That's the GSM frequency that the phone works on. With CDMA, you don't get that interference.

Verizon does have some really nice phones that they've been releasing lately. But they can't be used on other networks like AT&T and T-Mobile.

Ain't that the truth!!! I haven't really been aggravated with my phone in a long time, until just recently. Like I said though, it's 2-1/2 years old... so it's held up pretty well over the years!

Re: Verizon & Alltel Merger Complete!!!!!

We have a large Verizon customer service call center right around the corner from where I live. I'll tell our neighbor who works there y'all said hello.

The place does look like gangsta glass bling bling central when you walk in though.

Re: Verizon & Alltel Merger Complete!!!!!

Better than the AT&T store here a franchise, the kid who has the place, he sits on his ROYAL kister you have to walk up to the counter then he'll look up at you and say "What do YOU need" (us) "were lookig for a new phonw" him "The cheapest phone I got in this store is 249$. In the door walks a lady who looks like shes got big bucks he almost trips tp get before she get 3ft from the door. TRUE STORY guess did we buy anything?

Re: Verizon & Alltel Merger Complete!!!!!

I actually believe that the iPhone is only contracted to Cingular for a certain period of time before it can be sold by other carriers, just as the Motorola Razr phone was when it first came out with Cingular. I still prefer the service Verizon has over Cingular.
