Taking to my sick bed

When I call Alltel's 800 number, the greeting is how Alltel is the country's largest wireless company/carrier.

So why is the largest cell phone company being bought by Verizon?? 🤨

I used to feel so lucky that I had Alltel service and not Verizon. Not me, no siree. I'm staying with the best.

Pricing to keep in mind

This is not for your typical family share plans, which a lot of businesses use anyway. It applies to business plans, so a 5-line price plan would look like this:

$39.99/month per line for 450 min per line x5 = $200

$5/month per line to put 450 minute in a pool for all lines to share x5 = 25

$5/month per line for 5 free landline numbers x5 = 25

total of $250/month, with taxes about $300.

Also keep in mind that the free numbers are only wireline numbers. This is a far cry from a full My Circle plan, but it is a nice gesture.
