i beg to differ.
and I hate all you sprint fanboys.

i would be upset that being with alltel and then getting a vzw diamond since it does not have the same specs, like ram, cpu, internal storage.... the closet phone vzw has would be the Omani granted that has 16gb internal storage and transflash...

my sister has alltel and said that verizon will grandfather your plan but you will have to buy a verizon phone once the merger is official. please don't shoot the messenger!

I have been watching these forums and the Howard forums for over a year now and you guys have no tolerance for a what you consider to be a dumb noob question or someone that asks a question more than once. You were there at one time and you know it so don't be a hypocrite and show a little more understanding sometimes. Some of these people have never even seen a windows mobile phone before and have no idea even what a cab is. Yeah I said it again.

we do have understanding, but when there's the same question over and over and over and over, and no one searches, then there's no toleration for that. obviously you don't follow very well.
and pull what with you? you just got an account this month, within the past 4 days.... therefore you didn't even download anything from this site before then, so I don't see how you could truly follow what's on this site.....

I use to be a huge advocate for helping them out, and trying to point them to the right spot, etc etc, but I'm tired of it.
I use to just post them the links to the other million threads of the same question that has different solutions in each one of them,
told them the keywords I used to search, that way they could see how I searched for them and compare to their keywords to help them out in their searching in the future.
and they would only complain that I didn't copy and past the solutions into their thread or yell at me for it.
so there's no tolerance for it.
stick around, you post a million of the same things.
till then, don't post on the subject.
done deal. especially since you're not helping them out mr 2 post count.
you don't have the right to complain about something when you don't try and help to fix it. yet another reason why you don't have the right to post on that subject.
shall I keep going?

I won't let them give me a verizon TP over my un-gimped alltel TP.
Not going to happen.
If they do, they will pay me my $ back for the phone, full retail,
and then cancel my contract, and give me $ to compensate for my time/trouble/lost business due to the number change when I have to go to another carrier.
I don't get screwed over like most, I do the screwing.
hahahaha.

OMG let us just cower in the way of the VIP! Seriously everyone here knows that what I am saying is true. This is the reason why I never asked for help cause of people like you.

Gregory: you would not be able to activate that phone on the Verizon network because it runs on a different program from our CDMA network, you can get service with us and get a phone that would work on our network.

Is he ****ing joking? haha those reps make me laugh, gonna have to call when i get back in the US

No, they aren't joking. Even a supervisor will tell you the same thing :-\

All you Sprint "fanboys", go post somewhere else. If switching to Sprint was a legit option, I'm sure the OP would have already done it.................

By the way, I have used both Sprint & my current VZ service & no way will I ever go back to Sprint......

Thank you. If switching to sprint was an option I totally would. But I'm in contract. So it's not an option.

If you want your data and texting to work whenever they switch over the towers you will have to :-\

And they won't let you out of the contract. I've called. I've been nice, I've been mean, I've threatened, I've done everything. They won't let you out with out that ETF. Oh, I've even filed a complaint with the BBB but, verizon seems to think their piece of **** diamond is equal to what I have with alltel...

I don't know what to do. O.o
I'm sure there is something... but what..? Bend over?

[MrObvious]

*sigh* I'm not a Sprint fanboy by any means but at least they will let you keep a Diamond. Plus their customer service has reportedly improved.

[Dr.8820]

this thread is funny! but i see that you can't say anything bad about big red without the same guys showing up and posting the same thing in every anti-verizon thread! and we're supposed to be sprint fanboys lol!

[bradart]

O.K. Speaking from my experience....
//possible sprint fanboyism
I've tried every major carrier in the U.S.
I prefer sprint.....Greatly
Least gimped handsets by far
//end possible sprint fanboyism
This seems like a prime instance where you can break your contract with no ramification. You would be able to go try out every carrier available in your region for 30 days and go where you will from there. Verizonis pretty much out to screw you and, speaking purely from a fiscal perspetive, getting the hell out of there right now seems to be your best bet. I'm not saying switch to Sprint, just to get the hell out of Verizon. You should be able to take your Altell Diamond to any other CDMA carrier and get that beast back on the prowl. I hope this works out for you, bro. This is some B*S* and you don't deserve to come out underneath their bright red boots of injustice.
