Can Alltel customers switch to a Verizon plan?

[Gr@ce?]

Since Verizon Wireless has bought Alltel, when the merge happens-
Can costumers cancel their contract with Alltel and switch to a Verizon plan without being charged?
Or will the Alltel peeps have to wait until their contract is up, and then switch.

Yes, you should be able to do this. However, if your plan with alltel is better (more minutes available for the money, or a lower monthly cost compared to Verizon plans), you should not cancel the contract or change the plan since Verizon will continue to honor your plan indefinitely after the merger.
