Verizon wireless to buy Alltel

Oh great! And I just switched to Alltel because Sprint slash Nextel was screwing me around. I never had any problems with Nextel before the $%^&#$ at Sprint came along and bought them out.

I wonder who the winner will be in the race to monopolize the cell phone market?

 

Nextel and Sprint used different technologies in their phones, that's why they had/have so many problems. Alltel and Verizon both use the same system. We had Alltel for a couple years and never had any problem. Switched to Verizon because of the available phones and have not had any problem with them either.

I think Verizon/Alltel will be a much better match than Sprint/Nextel was.

 

I wasn't having any problems with the service... just problems with the crooks who ran the business.

I will NEVER do business with Sprint again—not even if they are the last phone company on earth.

 

I have had both Sprint and Nextel. Sprint was ok but that was 9 years ago. Nextel was good for the first 1 or 2 then it sucked. I have Verizon now, and am VERY happy. With my Nextel, I could point at a telephone pole on my way to my lake house in Northern WI, and it would loose service, 2 hours away from my place. Over the winter, I was Ice Fishing on the lake while talking to my buddy in IL on my Verizon phone. That really impressed me.

 

well we shall se if this works out.....
