Alltel Buyout???
Okay so today at work I read on another web site that Alltel might be coming up for sale and the the 2 buyers would either be Sprint, or Verizon... Can anyone give any info about this???

(i know i'll get yelled at for this) but it would be interesting if t-mob (or cingular) bought alltel and offer both cdma and gsm options

Cingular buying Alltel is not realistic, there is a reason Cingular did not go to CDMA signal, it would be a step backwords for us. With UMTS we will be usig a form of CDMA but nothing like the crap they use.

The only thing you guys have on Sprint is better devices... After that, its a bunch of bull---- propaganda. (in the same proportions as all those .com's that are no longer with us)

VZW and Alltel roaming agreement ends 4th quarter 2007. It is very likely due to their licenses across the midwest that VZW will snag them up very quick.

I've also heard that VZW is first in line to buy Alltel and in my opinion they will jump on it very quickly. Not that Verizon really needs to expand their network anywhere, but this will help them some. And I work for Cingular now after coming over from VZW and I still use VZW. I'll never switch. CDMA is not the "junk" that so many of you seem to think. In reality it comes down to the area, and around here VZW is the best. GSM sounds like crap and drops calls EVERYWHERE. I work with a lady who has Cingular, and everytime she gets on her phone I hear her complaining about crackling or the call dropping or something. Lets face it, every carrier has their weak service areas so saying that GSM is better than CDMA or vice versa is a very ...
