Alltel customers would be grandfathered in to the verizon network on their current usage plans until their contracts expired, and then would have to get one with verizon. Alltel & At&t use two different network technologies, (you probably know this) but Alltel, Verizon, NextelSprint = CDMA and At&t T-Mobile = GSM. They might use the same towers, but rent out different sections of them to mount their hardware on. I doubt that Alltel customers would even notice a glitch in their coverage as the merger would happen on paper and office space only.

I'm somewhat optimistic on this one.
