you do know that only reason alltel name is still around is because of divested markets, plus it will take a while to change everything over. verizon owns alltel,that is a given fact. and i know there is changes going on in my area.as for store changes here, was told that will change in september. but dont have an idea on any alltel store closings here yet. area is canton,akron ohio areas.

Because that's the way it is. And the signs don't go up until the Alltel customer billing database is "imported" into VZW's - on a regional basis, one by one - and that is by design. In markets to be divested, the stores that are branded Alltel are operating as a separate company, because that is what they are - and the Alltel stores being retained are slowly incorporating VZW process and procedures into their daily lives - and the name on the door and signs out front change when billing is merged.

The merger was finalized Jan 9th. VZW owns Alltel - lock stock and barrel. The markets that are to be divested are being operated as a separate company by a court approved trustee until they are sold.

It is basically like Alltel A (divested) and Alltel B (non divested). Like 2 companies with the same name. And there is still a chance of the Alltel name staying too with the divested markets. Depending on who buys them of course. Say another private equity firm buys them as some are interested in purchasing Alltel, they might keep the name since it is already established.
