[JGKC9AYC]

Anyone?

We were all turned into Verizon customers with the merger is my guess. Phil

i have officially waged war on alltel using as much data as i possibly can hoping they will drop me due to all the verizon roaming i do, but no such luck yet. last month i used about 16 gigs between 2 lines, all of which flashing the old triangle in the taskbar.

is it really too much to ask for a TP2, droid, or something even remotely close? i say nay! i shouldnt have to go behind their back and unlock and flash windows mobo 6.5 followed by hours and hours of tweaks and de-bugging, just to keep up with the times.

p.s. i cant believe i just ranted this much from my touch pro lol, sorry if i went wayyyyy off topic everyone!

yeah, alltel sucks

True, but some of us don't have much choice.
Alltel is cheaper for me considering the plan I have (2 lines, 500 shared minutes, unlimited text, pics & data).
My other options is VZW & AT&T...& there's alot of complaints about AT&T's service in my area.
