Any CDMA phone, regardless of brand CAN work. The problem with Alltel devices is that they are now loaded in the VZW DMD but are restricted to Alltel markets (accounts that are still on Alltel plans/coverage). Prior to this they were not loaded and could be loaded into the DMD as anything (like a VZW TP) and could be activated. A friend of mine had a contact in VZW HQ IT that could change them in the DMD from Alltel (restricted) to VZW but said that he stopped doing it and hasn't found anyone else willing to do it. In short, it can be done, but because of the merger it has made getting Alltel devices working on VZW accounts nearly impossible unless they were allready loaded as a VZW device prior to the merger of the DMDs.
