Alltel’s popular My Circle unlimited calling plan is now available with a couple additional offerings. With the ability to select up to 10 phone numbers to which you can make unlimited calls, it’s no wonder that Alltel has decided to expand its “My Circle” plans. In light of the tremendous success of the 10-person “My Circle” plan, previously available on calling plans $59.99 and up, Alltel has decided to add a larger and smaller calling-circle offering. Now available is a 5-person unlimited calling-circle and a 20-person “My Circle” plan. Alltel customers with calling plans of $49.99 can now choose up to five different phone numbers that won’t count against their rate-plan minutes. Those with calling plans of $59.99 or $79.99 will still be allowed to specify up to 10 phone numbers for unlimited calling. And, big-spenders with calling plans of $99.99 and up will be allowed to choose a “My Circle” of 20 numbers to which they are allowed unlimited wireless calling minutes. If you’ve been thinking about switching to Alltel to cash in on their “My Circle” unlimited calling plan, now’s the time to make the jump. We don’t even have a circle of 20 friends to fill up that new “My Circle 20″ quota, so we’ll be sticking with the lower-priced rate plans.
