!!!UPDATE!!!

Yep me too,,, I had used mtty to change the phone cid to ALLTE001 and tried to flash the first alltel rom to the phone,, but it still roamed....

Now I went ahead and downloaded the latest rom that alltel put out and after doing an otap the phone is no longer roaming,,,,,

conclusion????

the first alltel rom may not have had what it took to sufficiantly overwrite the information,,, that was causing the phone to still think it was qwest...

but with the new alltel rom having a new radio/platform im sure that that is the reason that it would overwrite pretty much everything,,,,

I am guessing that the custom roms that have been cooked out there, they are set with carrier settings, but they are lacking one vital piece of information that needs to be flashed into the phone... if we can figure out what it is.. then were golden...
