Many changes are most likely years away. However when the merger is truly complete Alltell customer will be considered Verizon customers and will get to enjoy the range and consistency of the Verizon network. If you still have an alltel branded phone at that time your phone may go into "roaming" but you will not be charged anything extra for that. Something that Big Red will have to work on with the roaming stuff is the way it counts the minutes on your plan. Currently if you are roaming on Verizon's network (which by the way RARELY happens) you accrue minutes even if you are talking to an "IN" network subcriber. These are the type of things why the merger will not be complete for years, the provisioning and billing systems are will be what takes the longest to complete and figure out.
Verizon does not have an "extended home network" they consider the entire US your home calling network.
They are being required to sell off certain things and different markets to keep with up market diversity. But i really don't see many, if any customer (VZW or Alltel) being affected by this from a coverage standpoint. Chances are many of the towers Alltel subcribers are using at Verizon owned.
