I have had Verizon for almost 2 years now but have lived and worked in an extended area. For me, this is very bad since I have a PDA phone which I use to check emails, go online, and use as a modem for my computer. I ended up finding out that Alltel phones have EVDO coverage where I work and live. I called Verizon to see how long it will take before I can go off of Alltel towers with my Verizon phone. The Verizon technical support said somewhere around 9 months before this merger is complete and I am able to use both towers.
So, I call up Alltel to see about switching over to them and find out that because of the ongoing merger, they are unable to move my phone number to Alltel service. My question is WHY? It doesn't make sense why this is not possible. I have ported my number between 3 different companies with no issues. Anyone have an understanding of what could be stopping them from doing this? They are technically the same company....
