About all you can do is surf the web and start reading posts. A link is provided below to get you started. As the merger has been green lighted and is proceeding as this is being written, information is still rolling in. The size of the merger (which will allow Verizon to surpass AT&T to become the largest wireless outfit in the U.S.), means that everyone and his brother will have something to say about the merger.
As of 2013, Alltel is a Verizon Wireless company, as Verizon acquired Alltel. Alltel still offers cell phones, but the service will be switched over to Verizon in the coming year. After the merger is complete, all phones may be purchased through Verizon Wireless. Currently, Alltel phones start at about 9.99$ (USD) and many smart phones cost 150$ (USD) or more.
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.
Alltel is now a portion of the Verizon network before the merger the unlimited use on the Alltel prepaid phone was $22.50 a month. The new unlimited standard now for a prepaid phone is $45 now.
Yes, since Verizon Wireless bought Alltel, you can use a Verizon Wireless phone on an existing Alltel plan.
Yes It Has Been Confirmed. Verizon And Alltel Can Talk For Free. Alltel Customers Can Use Verizon Phones On There Network And Everything!
As of present Verizon customers can call Alltel customers that are not being diverged to other markets. As of Feb 17th Alltel customers will be able to call Verizon customers IN network. The merger has not been finalized yet...it is still going through approvals and should be complete by the end of the year. Until then, both companies are acting separately.

Verizon wireless
Alltel phones merged with Verizon in January 2013 for the price of $28.1 million. Just 7 months before Alltel was bought for $27 million.
Verizon has legally become the owner of Alltel and taken over all of their company. Alltel is still functioning under its own name or name but will eventually become Verizon.
