Alltel has been bought in our area so Im kinda left with a nice pretty phone in a box that cant go on my provider...

There are countless postings of people who have had great success at activating Alltel on Verizon. The key I believe is just keep trying till you get a rep willing to do it.
I do know that some have been required to take it in so it can be verified that it will operate on Verizon.
Here is a quote from Verizons website
Quote:
Can I use an existing phone with Verizon Wireless service?
We can activate your existing phone provided it is compatible with our CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) digital network.
Although a wireless phone may be compatible with our network, we cannot guarantee the equipment's performance nor can we honor the manufacturer's warranty on wireless phones not purchased through Verizon Wireless or its authorized agents.
If you are not sure if your handset is compatible, please call our Verizon Wireless Sales Department at (800) 2-JOIN-IN (256-4646), or visit one of our Verizon Wireless stores.
If your handset is not compatible with our network, discounts are available on new equipment at the point of sale with a new activation

So unless your Alltel device has a bad ESN then I would keep trying!
