Alltel/Verizon Acquisition.?

Question

I have Alltel wireless and wish to switch to Verizon. My Alltel Contract expires 1/10/2009. I learned that Alltel had been acquired by Verizon and am wondering if an Alltel customer can switch to Verizon without any contract early termination fees. Does anyone know whether or not this can be done?

Answer 1

right now Verizon Wireless is still Verizon Wireless and Alltel is still Alltel. If you were to switch to VZW right now I am malmost positive Alltel would charge an early termination fee. The FCC has not yet approved of the buy yet and until that goes through... we are still two separate and different companies.

I think it would be best to wait out your contract to avoid any early termination fee...

Answer 2

Not right now. The buyout is still depending on FCC approval. I would wait till the deal goes through and then see what you would like to do.
