I usually use over 5GB/mo for my mobile PC Repair Service. Now, I don't know what to do.

I hope Verizon sinks and someone takes them over. But we all know that will never happen.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21685962 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 17:26:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21684918
But not telling your customers anything and you have under a week now until the merger is complete is another Sprint-Nextel merger in the works.

You have all these prepaid people from Alltel wondering if they'll get to keep their service or not due to not being in a contract. CellCo Partnership won't tell them a damn thing because they claim they don't have to. You have Alltel on the other hand claiming they don't know what in the hell is going on.

And Sprint could have completed the merger if they would NOT have allowed people to switch from the Sprint brand to Nextel. If they would have made EVERYONE move to the Sprint side after their contract expired and STOPPED signed people up on Nextel's brand Nextel would not have any new customers and would all be happy in the CDMA land.

And you claim the Cellular One problem was due to the difference. You better thank again. Cellular One didnt tell their customers anything either just like Alltel is doing. VZW didnt tell customers anything either UNTIL after the merger was done and REQUIRED ALL CUSTOMERS to sign a NEW contract just because of the difference.

I was one of those customers and it was a pain in the ass. CellCo does NOT know how to manage a Merger let alone know how to take care of their customers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21684918 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:23:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21682251
1) Verizon Wireless is very good at mergers, they always are careful to cross every "t" and dot every "i".

2) This is a simple merger when you compare Nextel/Sprint. The problem with this merger was predominantly due to Nextel running an iDEN network, and Sprint running CDMA. In the Verizon/Alltel merger both predominantly run CDMA. This will only require Verizon to integrate the existing networks & billing systems, and remove redundant equipment/cell sites where they already have a network.

The issue with Cellular One was because of their TDMA network; which Verizon wanted to shut down to make it a CDMA market like the rest of their network.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21682251 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 23:36:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21682232
Now, it should be understood that this only applies to areas Verizon Wireless will assume control. Divested markets are still up to the purchasing company to do what they wish.

It is very likely that AT&T will pick up these areas, and if that's the case GSM won't be leaving those areas for a long time to come.

BUT - Even if AT&T chose not to purchase them, the roaming revenue they get would probably sway the operator to keep GSM and CDMA active.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21682232 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 23:31:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21682219
Those areas will become Verizon Wireless and will not be divested.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21682219 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 23:29:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21680960 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21680960 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:50:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21680645

Sprint doesnt have the cash or credit to buy any of the CDMA networks.

The likely companies to pick them up especially in Ohio will be the unlimited carriers due to they don't have huge amounts of debt from non-paying customers. Revol will be the likely company to buy the Ohio networks from both Alltel and VZW which will hurt them. They really need the markets that Alltel will be spinning off to really connect their coverage.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21680593 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:32:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21680529 I think AT&T and T-Mobile have long term contracts, but then again, if those markets are divested, will AT&T or T-Mobile pick some of them up (or Sprint pick up some CDMA areas as well)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21680529 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:18:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679701 www.cellularmap.net look under what's new.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679701 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:18:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679899
Weather they keep both of your accounts or not is still to be announced. VZW and Alltel are not saying a damn thing.

This is most likely going to be another Sprint-Nextel merger all over again.

Two companies not doing a damn thing to keep the customer upto date. VZW anyway has a history of mergers not working in their favor---anyone remember when they took over Cellular One's TDMA network and required everyone to renew under VZW? A nightmare that was for customers especially since rate plans went up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679899 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 15:11:42 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679821 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679821 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 14:57:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679163 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679163 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:18:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679157 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679157 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:16:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Areas-that-get-spun-off-21679140 said by hottboiinnc:

is there any list of cities that Alltel and VZ have to get rid of?

There are few cities I want to see if they're on the list.
Here is the list.
