you actually wont have to worry i work for alltel and i know for a fact that this deal is gonna be better for alltel users because we get to keep all of our plan features so my circle will essentially be unlimited since we will be part of the verizon network (which will be the largest network) plus tmobile is supposed to purchase sprint so you will only have to add the at&t users and tmobile users it they but sprint. so for alltel its good and for anyone thinking about going to alltel now is the time to do it because you will be godfathered into your plan which is hands down cheaper then verizon.
on another note this has been in planning for at least a year when we annouced being bout by tpg and goldman sachs this was all in the plan to be sold. the investment firms bought at an awesome time we had a 50% increase in profit and adde like 200,000 users last year so they got the profits from last year plus they get another like half a billion from the trade. the only thing im worried about is what kind of severnce pay they are gonna off. unfortunately im in an area that is saturated with alltel and verizon both so most likely either they are gonna keep me and promote me or pay me to leave. and at that point ill just apply for a better job at verizon or even at&t
