With "My Circle" everyone is welcome at Alltel

Alltel -- the self-dubbed "America's largest network" -- is playing nice with a whole host of annoying mobile network spokespeople with their new Alltelcircle service. Mobile users represented by Catherine Zeta Jones, that "can you hear me now?" guy, Sprint's Mr. Trenchcoat Man, and Cingular's bouncy orange mascot, can all be included in your "Circle" of ten friends. Once a phone number is added, you can make and receive unlimited calls with that person, which gives you one less excuse for not calling your mother every day. Of course, you'll need a rate plan of $59.99 or higher to qualify for My Circle, but once you sign up you can switch up your My Circle members at any time through your online account.
