Default Should I be worried?

It's being reported that Verizon are in talks to buy Alltel. As an Alltel customer should I be excited or worried about this? Verizon lock down thier phones don't they? But then I may get better coverage?

youll definately get better coverage...
phone locking is hit or miss...only thing they locked or disabled on the Q is the GPS for the Q9c

i personally dont mind alltels coverage anymore its pretty good everywhere and the only big downside i know of is how locked in you are within your contract... i thought id heard that with verizon you can change phones during contract thats all i know of though...

Default i personaly am very worried

Since verizon bought out unicell last year, alltel is the only competition where i live. if vz buys out alltel, then i am left with only one provider to choose from and no competition. good bye my circle, good by unlimited data, watch my bill soar!! thats how corporate america works these days. get the company doing well and sell it!! this blows imho.

verizon has unlimited data and unlimited (29.99) calling to anyone on VZW which will probably be alot of people you talk to in your area if alltel is the only dude in town
