Alltel expands MyCircle options

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – In 2006, Alltel
Wireless, America’s largest network, revolutionized the concept of free wireless
calling with the introduction of “My Circle,” an industry-defining offer giving
customers the freedom of unlimited calling to and from any 10 numbers on any
network for free.  Today, Alltel announced a major expansion to “My Circle,”
with the introduction of “My Circle 5” and “My Circle 20” – two new options now
offered in addition to the original “My Circle 10.” Now new and existing
customers can take advantage of this exclusive calling feature. 

For almost two years, customers on
rate plans of $59.99 or higher have taken advantage of “My Circle 10,” allowing
them to choose who they call for free – any 10 numbers on any network.  With the
addition of these two new “My Circle” options, now there is a circle for
everyone.  New and existing customers on any rate plan of $49.99 or higher will
receive “My Circle 5” and the ability to choose any five numbers on any network
for unlimited free calling. Customers on calling plans of $99.99 or higher will
benefit from “My Circle 20,” providing unlimited calling to any 20 numbers on
any network for free.

“The addition of
Alltel’s ‘My Circle 5’ and ‘My Circle 20’ provides our customers with more
choice and control over their wireless experience,” said Frank O’Mara, Chief
Marketing Officer for Alltel Wireless.  “Our ‘My Circle 10’ has been extremely
well received, and with the expansion, even more people can enjoy the freedom of
choosing who they call for free – any five, 10 or 20 numbers on any network.” 

Customers can add any
combination of home phone, office or wireless numbers located anywhere in the
U.S., regardless of local phone company or wireless carrier. Alltel has made it
easy for customers to start calling their “My Circle” numbers and enjoy the
convenience of changing those numbers by simply going to
www.alltel.com/myaccount anytime at no charge.  Free calls to “My Circle”
numbers are in addition to anytime minutes, night / weekend minutes and
mobile-to-mobile minutes included in customers’ calling plans. 

Demonstrating the belief in giving customers choice
and flexibility over their wireless experience, Alltel was the first to offer
Anytime Plan Changes, giving customers the ability to change their calling plans
at any time, without extending their current contract.  In addition, Alltel
offers Voice2TXT, a feature that quickly converts incoming voicemails to text
messages in the customer’s inbox; and Celltop, a patent-pending technology
offering customers an easier way to access, manage and organize a wide range of
information already available on their phones.
