Yes, Alltel customers will continue to work on the Verizon network. Never said it would not. That was not the op question. It was about getting better a better signal strength. OP could do one of two things. Migrate his line to Verizon and install the Verizon software. Or, stay with the Alltel setup and install another radio. If you have the older version from Alltel, yes your GPS works out of the box. Upgrading to the latest Alltel rom disabled GPS except for Alltel Navigation. If you purchased the Alltel Navigation, GPS became unlocked. I tried that. Then uninstalled it to see what would happen. Google Maps, etc no longer worked. Reinstalled the Alltel app, GPS worked again. Changing the radio fixed that. No idea why, that was the advice I got and it worked.
