Re: Can I use an Alltel Touch Pro on Verizon?

In a short word - NOPE. Since we changed to blackberries at work (where work will pay for my service if I have a blackberry and free service is good to me) I went to the store to trade somebody for a storm. The guy at the store was very nice, but once he tried to add my Alltel pro to his verizon account, no dice. We called tech support, and they said that they would not load any Alltel ESN to their network unless you were a prior Alltel customer with an alltel plan. I called them out on the "we will accept any phone" BS, but they would not budge. Tried to call again today, thinking since I am the holder of the alltel phone that is now on Verizon that maybe I would have better luck, but it didn't work out again.

So, I now have to try to sell a phone that can't be activated unless somebody has an alltel account with Verizon, since we have gone through the transition here. Verizon is so large corporate it makes me sick
