As a long time user of Alltel, a former customer of Verizon, and an employee of AT&T, I hate to see it. I was never happy with Verizon's service and I give up the employee discount with AT&T because of their coverage in my area. I have been very happy with every aspect of my Alltel service. My son works for Alltel and I can't wait to get his reaction on this although I'm thinking it won't be a good reaction...LOL
