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

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!
