I agree with KwikOne. This is almost the exact same thing as what happened with my mother's cell phone, which was formerly connected to the Cingular network, and Cingular's network coverage wasn't all that good to start with. But when AT&T acquired the Cingular network, the network coverage increased, and all Cingular cell phones now connect to the AT&T network. I'm certain even if your Alltel modem doesn't get Verizon's network right now, it'll only be a matter of time.
