It depends. You should still have Alltel until you get a letter in the mail saying you have Verizon. After you get the letter, you have to get Verizon phones and plans (you can keep all current phones and plans once u change to Verizon) Before you get the letter, you can still change to an Alltel phone or plan but Verizon customers cannot get Alltel stuff. Since it is already March, and if you did not get a letter saying you're gonna transition to Verizon than the merger is not gonna affect you

.

If u want to stay alltel once u get the letter, u can call customer service and request to stay on same plan as alltel customer. the letter does not state this, but my mom did it. she's still on prepaid alltel plan. prepaid alltel had Unlimited text, whereas, prepaid verion does not.

Also, they have great reception as well as a 4g lte data network for selected phones. Cons would be, for most people, the price of Verizon plans. They can get costly even for a simple data and calling plan.

Right now, the most popular US cellular phones are both carried by Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless has stolen the spotlight in the cell phone marketplace with the Blackberry and iPhone. These two phones are undeniably popular, because they provide internet access to customers. The Blackberry is viewed as a more professional and business-like phone since it operates with its own communications system. The iPhone is viewed as a trendy and stylish phone for young generations. Both phones offer high quality reception service and the ability to download a variety of cool applications. The only downfall is that both phones can be very expensive.

Can you get a cell phone from Cingular and use it on a Verizon plan?

Nope. Totally different Technology. Verizon uses CDMA and Cingular uses GSM CDMA carriers have better coverage in the United States, GSM service has a larger global footprint There ARE Hybrids out there. I think SAMSUNG makes one. But I'm assuming the question has more to do with NOT buying a new phone if you don't have to.
