Now that Verizon Wireless has completed its acquisition of Alltel Wireless, it turns out that some subscribers in portions of 22 states—some 2.2 million customers in all—will continue to receive their old Alltel service for now.
“Current Alltel customers will still have access to America’s largest wireless network, popular features such as ‘My Circle’ and Anytime Plan Changes as well as the latest handsets and technologies they have come to expect from Alltel Wireless,” the company said in a statement.
That’s not going to last, though; other entities like AT&T are looking to obtain the last of the spectrum and other Alltel pieces that weren’t part of the original acquisition, as mandated by the government’s regulatory agency as part of the original deal with Verizon Wireless.
