at this point in the game, what is the point of being an alltel agent? alltel is being bought by vzw, so eventually you'll be vzw. start with them now so you dont have the headache of switching later, or even worse, being "let go"

I've been an Alltel Agent for over 3 years now, I have invested my lively hood with them and am trying to get some heads up on my families future.

Where I am from you can not put a verizon store in at this point cause they don't own the market here.

It sucks just as bad for corporate retail employees...

Just keep doing what you do, do it better...and when the time comes, you'll learn what's going to happen with the transition and decide what to do next.

no insider information but here is what i think!!!


The FCC WILL make VW/Alltel diverge some markets in order to preserve the threat of a monopoly. Some of these markets will be bought by other carriers forcing a different buyout arrangement then before. In the long run you will see it go through for the most part with some markets being spun off the real question is how much?

If you are an agent in an existing verizon wireless market you might be offered partnerships with Verizon if your store is not surrounded by verizon stores or you are part of an area that has an exclusive agent.


In your case you are not. So most likely the corporate Alltel stores will be hit the worse and you will be allowed to convert over to verizon. ...
