I hate the Alltel commercials, it would be sweet if Verizon did one in response. ---

ha, if they do that all you verizon subscribers will be paying for it. alltel’s number of subscribers for the spread out network they have is pretty low. one of their main sources of revenue is verizon roaming fees. ---

Wish verizon had roll-overs and a calling circle. ---

[quote=“Marcus,post:5,topic:25089"”] Wish verizon had roll-overs and a calling circle. [/quote] It’s really one of the shitty parts of Verizon. I love the service reliability but the features really blow. Cingular definitely has the better perks. ---

why the hell are they trying to sell to AT&T? They just had to delay 3G rollout by 2 years to finish integration between cingular and AT&T and they were GSM, imagine how long it would take to merge with alltel, who isnt even the same technology. ---

I like my 37 dollar sprint bill with unlimited internet, and 500 minutes, nights at 7pm.
