🤨 What do you guys think? I think that it's just a matter of time. Just like it's a matter of time for someone to buy Alltel.

why? Not being an ass but what would be in it for cingy? They already have coverage in the same area. Most people have the unplan and its unlimited and cingy won't offer it so most will leave for cheaper rates so its not customers. Just my outlook! Alltel is entirely different they have service in areas NO ONE has and would benefit anyone that bought them!

C. Sprint has their hands full with converting nextel.

D. Same technologies.

Has everyone forgot that alltel is one of cigular's biggest roaming partners? alltel uses cdma and gsm (after western wireless purchase) and that is a huge patch of coverage if verizon bought them. we would probably put in a deal for their gsm coverage but not much more.
