I appreciate the response but that sort of didn't answer my real question. I'm sure they don't like you unlocking the phone from another carrier and bringing it to their service because it cuts into their profits. What I'm wondering is...

1. Is it necessary to unlock a phone from another carrier if they have the same radio and such or can you simply flash a new rom with Alltel's cab included?
2. Will Alltel use the phone (whether they like it or not) since it is the same technology or will I be unable to use the phone with Alltel because of xx reason?

Thanks,

Jon
