Default T-Mobile: Unlimited Calling to Five Numbers, Regardless of carrier!

This is a great promotion and Verizon needs to do something like this if
they want to stop getting their asses kicked by the competition.
Nights/Weekends need to start earlier as well. 9pm does you NO good if you
live on the west coast and want to call the east cost. They're all sleeping
by then.

Um, Verizon is adding customers faster than any other carrier- 1.7
million last quarter, vs. Cingulars 1.2m and T-Mo's 900k.

Maybe you should change to a more suitable carrier for your needs, rather
than expecting you carrier to change to suit you?

(This is where you're supposed to say "but I don't want to switch-
Verizon has the best coverage where I live" and then realize why they
don't have to match the other carrier's gimmicks!) ;-)

Nothing new. Alltel Circle has 10 unlimited numbers on any system:
http://www.alltelcircle.com/

Two lines sharing 16.67 nationwide hours, free second line, Unlimited N/W
and M2M, 10 free number MyCircle to any system 10 phones landline or
cellular, and your choice of either 1000 text/pictures/videos/mo or
changing the N/W from 9 to 7PM....$79.99. Same family plan but 33.33
nationwide hours, $109.99/mo.
http://alltel.com/personal/wireless/...mily.html?id=3
Click the map and compare with VZW...no competition.
Too bad if it's not in your area....(snif)

My Circle on Alltel is hard to beat at 10 numbers you can change any time
you want. Ask Chad on their webpages. Just like the little Verizon
heroin addict wearing a jacket all summer to cover his arm tracks, Chad
wears a long sleeve shirt. I wanna see both of them in a tank top with
their palms up to check!

I find that In-network calling negates most of that. All of our family
and most friends are on VZW. We can call each other "off the clock"
anytime we want.

But is the circle of 10 free for the other guys? What good does it do for
them if it is not free for them as well?

They may have a Suncom unlimited plan or a landline. Besides, it's
not my job to keep someone else's phone bill down.;-)

It is if they're on a landlline or Nextel or one of the other carriers
that doesn't rip their users airtime charges for INCOMING calls. Is that
Cingular or what others have free incoming calls. Nextel always has.

If you have to pay for incoming calls, like Verizon, you'll pay airtime
if a Circle calls you. If you're on Alltel, of course, you wouldn't be
on a Circle as all M2M calls to any Alltel customer are free for
everyone.
