Alltel switching to AT&T timeline

[NDFF]

Does anyone have an educated answer as to when Alltel will be switching to AT&T? What kind of upgrades has been done to the AT&T network to inprove coverage, before if you were on the interstates or hwy 83 coverage was decent but if you traveled off the four lane highways it was marginal at best.

I thought they were bought by Verizon. My Alltel account became Verizon automatically a year or so ago.

At&t is here

I went to a web site to see tower locations and I found that the tower in underwood on the south end has switched from alltel to new owner AT&T and the tower about 3 miles north of Max on HWY 83 is AT&T aswell

It's a mess here in Southern MN as well. Verizon bought Alltel but they had to sell some holdings off, which became Unicel, now Unicel is becoming AT&T.

I was originally Alltel many years ago, then i dropped them for Midwest wireless years back because they had a tower near my house and Alltel didn't, then Alltel bought them and i got moved to Alltel once again, then Verizon bought Alltel and i got moved to them. I'm sick of the cell phone baseball.

That's weird I thought Alltel was CDMA, at least the part that Verizon bought up was(obviously). Unless AT&T is looking to get into the CDMA market.

At&t

I was by the Max tower one day and say AT&T Vehicle putting there system in I talk to someone and they are going to leave Alltel system in and they are going to put there system in then when they do the switch they will turn on at&t and take out alltel
