Hi, I am planning on getting a cellphone for my birthday in early July. I really liked Verizon when I was with them, but I see they are merging with Qwest. What does this mean? Should I hold up buying a cell phone? Will the plans change? Will the phones change?
 
Qwest doesnt offer cell phone service. Verizon is in the process of purchasing Alltel. Qwest has made a deal to resell Verizon's wireless service. Generally nothing is going to change, they will just use Verizons plans.
 
Ok, which service do you guys recommend more? Verizon or Qwest? We are looking at a family plan for 4 phones.
 
I have verizon and love it-except for the sky high pricing. That being said, I wold look into what providers work best as to where you live-I had to switch from ATT to verizon because of poor call quality.
