I'm thinking of switching carriers but I want to keep my Q phone.

I'm currently with Alltel wireless. Although I have no qualms with their customer service (in fact they are great) nor their plan (I absolutely love the all inclusive package with unlimited everything for $90) however, I'm now moving from just in MI on the Toledo outskirts where I have service and into Detroit metro area. Once I'm 10-15 miles into MI I go into roaming which due to it being the Q I get charged $ .99 a minute airtime useage, more for web useage, and then like 5 or 10 cents a text. I just can't deal with that.

So essentually I'm wondering if there is anyway to switch to Sprint Service and keep this phone. I can see the Alltel programming in the phone as files and such, but I'm wondering if I could go somewhere online, use a program, or if someone on here new how to reprogram the phone.

If so I will make the switch... If not I may have to give up the Q which will make me very upset. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

And for the record, so far everyone here is awesome and just the knowledge on this forum is tremendous. I'm still soaking up phone info like a sponge. I'm coming from the oldschool saved by the bell phones to the Q so it's been a big step! LOL!
