Maybe an alltel or verizon representative can help me out here. Right now im still officially on an alltel plan even though alltel and verizon are one company. However, i would really like to get a verizon phone. The Lg env touch in particular. If i do buy one off ebay or something, can i go to alltel and have them activate it on my account? Will all the basic features still work?? I've heard some yes and some no. I know this girl that has an lg dare on her alltel account, it's not even a smart phone plan, but i just want to be sure before i spend a bunch of money on a phone.

Oh and i live in northern michigan if that helps..
Thanks

Depending on where you live, there are rules about Alltel/Verizon compatibility. If you have to go to an Alltel store for service and there is no Verizon store nearby, then you probably cant get an envTouch.. Go to a Verizon store if there's one near you..

yes you can get a verizon phone for an alltel plan, my family has alltel and when i got my own contract my little sister took my phone number and she got a verizon phone (Motorola rival to be exact) and it actually works better than the alltel phones.
(we live in Ohio, 20 minutes from Michigan)
good luck
