Nope, Alltel is not a Verizon property. Alltel has a lot of roaming
agreements with VZW, but it is not inside the VZW nutshell.

Filtering her is fine, but there are people who come to this newsgroup for
information and I hate to see them get completely incorrect info, which is why
I personally respond to her. I'd like her to just STFU and go away, but who
knows if that's going to happen.

What really bugs me is that she sounds like she might be a CSR or other
VZW employee, and if so, she is the most ill-informed Verizon employee I
have *ever* spoken to, and she either needs to get a clue and pay attention
to her training, or go find another job.

Hmmm.....

Just a coincidence that her ISP is SBC?

Maybe she works for SBC; she certainly *sounds* clueless enough to be an
SBC employee.
