Verizon Wireless Assets Now In AT&T's Hands
Jun 22, 2010, 7:53 PM by Philip Berne
AT&T and Verizon Wireless have completed the transfer of the Verizon assets in 79 service areas across 18 states. The $2.35 billion deal was part of the regulatory approval deal that enabled Verizon to purchase Alltel. The acquisition gives AT&T a stronger foothold in mostly rural areas, picking up former Alltel properties in addition to some assets from Verizon Wireless and Rural Cellular Corp. While AT&T completes the network integration work, customers will not have to change phone numbers, rate plans or existing contracts. Eventually, customers will be able to choose a handset comparable to their existing phone at no charge, or upgrade to another AT&T device.
