My Circle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My Circle, launched on April 20, 2006, is a feature offered by Alltel Wireless that enables customers to make and receive unlimited free calls to and from different phone numbers, including landlines.
Initailly, My Circle only gave customers 10 different numbers per account. Now customers have a choice of how many circle numbers they get (1, 5, 10, or 20) based on the cost of their rate plan.
As of January 13, 2008, customers on rate plans $39.99 get 1 circle number. Customers on rate plans $49.99 get 5 circle numbers. Customers on rate plans $59.99 - 79.99 get 10 circle numbers. Customers on rate plans $99.99 and up get 20 circle numbers.
My Circle lets customers choose any combination of wireless, home and office numbers located anywhere in the U.S., regardless of local phone company or wireless carrier.
All incoming and outgoing calls to and from a customer's designated Circle are free, as long as they originate within their rate plan coverage area. A customer with My Circle may change circle numbers whenever, and go into effect around midnight Eastern Time. My Circle numbers are managed on Alltel's website via My Account.
Other exclusive features offered by Alltel include Celltop and Anytime Plan Changes.
