It says my alltel account will still be serviced by alltel and will not transition in 2009. Does this mean my area is in the trust area. I'm in Sandusky OH Erie County just west of Cleveland. I'm just trying to find out if my area is going to be sold to another company.
I have great coverage with alltel and want to keep it that way.

At least you all received a letter letting you know what is going on. I have yet to hear anything from Alltel about the transition.

If you would like to know if your area is being bought by Verizon, go online to the Alltel site, enter your zip code, and after you do that and are at the home page, look at the top of the page and see if it says: Verizon Wireless Integration, if so, that means you will become Verizon Wireless. But if it doesnt, and says something els, then you won't be.

I hope this helps.

That is a good piece of information. Didn't know that worked like that. But it does. Cool.

Wow, I very much doubt that. T-Mobile's network is almost exclusively 1900 except for their 3G, which is 1700/2100. I don't think it would make much sense for them to buy a bunch of cellular/850 mhz areas. Plus, T-Mobile is GSM and I can guarantee that your coverage would vastly degrade since you are used to CDMA.
