| Re: Will Qwest/Verizon customer get the normal screwing? said by Mr Matt  :  Will Quest subscribers be able to transfer their accounts to Verizon without signing a new contract or will the get the normal screwing like Amp'd Mobile customers. They had to sign new contracts with other wireless carriers and buy new handsets? I would be pretty angry if I was expecting to go on a month to month service arrangement within a few months and then have to replace my handset and sign a new contract with another carrier. That would be against the law because it would be a breach of contract. If you sign up for a year, then you only have to be under contract for a year, no company can magically add months. However, what probably will happen is that they will say "want to stick with us? Either sign a new contract and get a new phone or get out." Which then there is plenty of mobile competition  . | |

| and what do you think ATT is going to do with they take over Alltel Trust areas that are not going to the ATIN (i think thats the name of the company). You think they're going to keep the CDMA network open for those customers? HA! its a roaming cash cow for VZ and Sprint and thats it.
Those poor customers will be forced into new contracts or be told to get out the same way VZ did with Cellular One MidWest when they took over that network back in '01. | |

They can't be forced into switching carriers. It's their choice to move to a different carrier whichever carrier that may be. Yes, if they move they will either need to sign a new contract with that carrier, go pre-paid, or go with one of the pay upfront monthly plans. Don't expect much in the way of discounts or savings unless you agree to commit (contract). | |

| Re: Will Qwest/Verizon customer get the normal screwing? that was the whole point someone else was saying if you would have taken the time to read. They were talking about the people already in contracts with Qwest Wireless.
I was only saying about VZW when they took over Cellular One MidWest. But like i said, you didn't bother to read what I had to say. | |

I would be pretty angry if I was expecting to go on a month to month service arrangement within a few months and then have to replace my handset and sign a new contract with another carrier. I'll bet if you bring your old handset to a Sprint Store, they will transfer you over as a Sprint direct account without a new term commitment. A new contract would be involved if you purchase a new handset. | |

Kent, WA | ETF To my understanding, Qwest is no longer charging an ETF for the people still under "Qwest Wireless". If you are still using the Sprint service & if you want to resign with Verizon then you would have to sign a new contract. | |

| Qwest to Verizon Wireless Done it a few months ago, and don't look back at the "Sprint" powered coverage provided, either. But I also had a very cheap plan grandfathered, now gone. What I miss the most is their "Everywhere Line" which automatically switched my landline to the cell whenever I turned it on. I have to go through the "Update Center" & do it manually EVERY darn time. & if I forget to clear in when I get home, I find out later.......  | |
