Doubt it. VZ is CDMA. T-Mobile is GSM. Their networks are incompatible. A VZ and Sprint merger is more likely.

So is Nextel's (iDen) Network Compatible with Sprint (CDMA)? Just wondering, somehow rumours say they are gonna end up making Nextel CDMA Eventually

It is not....There were talks about a corporate buyout of sprint but that is old new from 2-3 years ago. Nextel and Sprint is what is going to happen soon. Expect two terrible companies to make one huge horrible company haha. You just wait.

I know Sprint is Horrible, but I always heard good about Nextel (except phone selection), maybe we will see what happens

I know the feeling, I kind of feel left out as a Verizon user - seems like everyone can call everyone for free except for us!
