Cincinnati Bell selling wireless business to Verizon | Local News - WLWT Home

Interesting news... Cincy Bell is piggie backed on T-mobile towers, and is a GSM (obviously) provider. Curious as to how the transition will work.

Any one else from Cincy area have thoughts on this?

Most seem to be going the other way, with Cricket and Metro PCS going from CDMA to GSM, selling out to AT&T and T-Mobile, respectively.

Seems like all of the smaller carriers are being bought out. At least Cricket and Metro are being kept alive as the prepaid divisions of AT&T and T-Mobile. If I'm reading that article correctly CBW is going away altogether with their customers being forced to Verizon or another carrier. No reason for their customers to be happy, really. Nothing except the outrageous prices were keeping them from going to Verizon if they wanted to anyway lol.

Once the agreement is approved and closed, we will waive all applicable termination fees, provide handset unlock codes and assist you with the transition of your wireless service to Verizon Wireless or other carrier of your choice. Link.

At least their customers will have the ability to take their unlocked phones to AT&T, T-Mobile, and the GSM prepaid networks if they want to keep their phone.
