What does "last minute" even mean? There is no deadline for anything here. If you feel like you want to switch carriers before the merger completes, just do it. If you want to wait and see what happens and perhaps switch at a later point, do that. Neither approach is right or wrong or provides you with any perceptible advantage. I for myself will sit it out and pretend nothing will change for the worse. And if it does, I'm outta here. That's my approach. But I see no reason to panic or rush anything or even to having to do any research until my contract expires.

BTW, If you haven't checked it yet, AT&T is the worse cell phone carrier. Their prices are not cheap so why pay high prices for poor service? Do your homework everyone. --- In [email protected], "Patrick A.

Already this deal is getting talk because it may raise anti-competitive concerns. The combined company would be the number one carrier in the USA and between AT&T-T-Mo and Verizon, those two carriers would account for about 75% of all cell phone users (according to an article in today's Boston Globe). So you can expect prolonged hearings on this before it is allowed to go through. > > I suspect that even if it goes through, we won't actually start to see changes until mid to late next year (read: Summer of 2012 or later).
