Thank you for your response again,

That is part of the confusion.... After the conversion if we would still be using the same towers we do now, then we would be getting a really bad deal. That would mean that Verizon was deliberately blocking our signals from using the uscellular towers.
Or will there be some magical time and our current phones will simply start using the other towers...???


Also Verizon will be more expensive than Alltel. Their discount only applies to the primary line...not all of the phones on the plan (3)
