Alltel Phone

I have the Curve and it hasn't messed up any as far as I know, since you all started talking about it, I've been waiting for it...but fine, knock on wood.


On another not, thinking about getting a new phone. Either the "Tour" or the "Hero"(android), suggestions?

wow i was getting ready to say exactly the same thing. almost word for word. haha i got it for about 5 minutes at work today and so did some of the others that are having problems.

R13 I have a Tour and love it but the "Hero" looks pretty awesome. I probably would have purchased one of those had it been available when I upgraded.

I think it is a problem on the Norton tower. When I went to wrok this weekend I had the same problems but when i got back to Coeburn I didnt have any problem.

It is, apparently, but some folks in Wise are having issues, too, from what I've heard.

It's FINALLY fixed!!

Now my Alltel phone service is all screwy.
I dont even have a blackberry or other smart phone.
It's on roaming (or has no service), here in Norton, and cant do text messages (get a connection error).
It usually shows 1X but it's not showing anything now.

My wife's Curve is all screwed up and she can't get a call out but her BB Messenger works.

I have a Tour and mine is working just fine. All this here in Norton which I assume that is where you are too elp6n.

A buddy of mine told me this morning that the AT&T Sale finally went thru and they have 1 year to get everyone switched over.

I've been trying to follow the Alltel/AT&T thing as best I can.

The Alltel website has the same merger update from a year ago ("No action is required on your part at this time. Your service will continue “business as usual” until these properties are transitioned to AT&T. At this time, the purchase is expected to be completed during fourth quarter of 2009")

I know the merger/buyout in South Dakota was approved but there's not been any finalization on the merger in our area yet.
I wish something would be finalized - I've been using the same beat up, dog chewed phone for 2.5 years, my contract is up and I'd like to know what's happening before I get a new service or new contract.

I thought the merger was approved yesterday for the official buyout of Verizon assets in certain locations.
