I spoke with a Supervisor today regarding why I couldn't buy myself a AT&T Blackberry and use it on the network since CellularOne has switched over to AT&T.

No ETFs will apply. Before they cancel the account, they will offer the customer to migrate to AT&T.

As for upgrading, you CAN still upgrade your current Cell One account...for now. You have to get a Cell One phone though. Your best bet is to check with Cell One customer care. I have had dozens of customers come in within the last couple weeks who had...
