even though verizon to alltel texts are advertised as free on the VZW website (verizonwireless.com/friend)i was just on the phone with VZW text support and they said the merger was not complete and i have been getting charged for the texts sent to alltel customers.

after seeing all the Verizon ads that now says “over 80 Million Customers” that includes all the alltel customers but yet I just checked the Alltel numbers and I can’t call any of them mobile to mobile and they are local within 15 mins of my house this whole thing is so screwed up if you advertise that alltel’s network is now verizons network then say you can’t call all the alltel numbers.

Starting on February 17, 2009, Alltel customers in markets that will be integrated with Verizon Wireless will be able to use their mobile to mobile allowance for calling Verizon Wireless customers without using their plan minutes.

Vzw Now has new plans where you can have 5 or 10 in your friends and family so it wont cost you to talk to them on any network or home number. I still think that if someone calls you that you should haven’t to pay for the mint. seeing how you didn’t make the call. they need to bring back free incomeing calls. they hand them years ago.

I think Verizons new system stinks. My friend is with Alltel and has me in his circle of friends(no charge). My number with Verizon is charged minutes to him, but not him to me. On a “Family Plan” they want to bump me up another 700 minutes to get his number into Family and friends at $20 more a month. I wont need it then. They are trying to trick you out of more money.

I have had verizon for 8 years! They are expensive, but in 8 yrs I have only dropped 2 calls. I have been thinking about changing service because Verizon does not give you anything but “IN” call or moble to moble.
i thin it is GREAT that Alltel customers are now a part of my “IN” calling and I also love that they just added Friends & Family!!

I have never had any problems with my bill, or my service they just keep getting better!

As an Alltel customer, I’m dreading the day that Verizon fukks up the glorious freedoms we had at Alltel.

Alltel didn’t lock out certain features on some phones like Verizon is known to do requiring a hack/flash to unlock.

Alltel doesn’t charge me extra for going over 5 gig/month on my “unlimited” data plan like Verizon.
And most importantly, I’ve been tethering my Alltel phone without a tethering plan for over a year now and never been charged extra!
Unlike Verizon.

Yup. while my FEW remaining friends with Verizon may go free soon for mobile to mobile with them, I could loose a lot more in the process!

I talked to a verizon rep and they arent sure that verizon is even going to adapt the “my circle” They said that is what caused alltel the problems…I wish they would it would be awesome…but honestly I dont know many people who DONT have verizon…

verizon should have the circle now since they bought altell I know I would love it because then I am not worrying bout going over on my verizon bill. I like tmobile because of the faves so I think verizon should do my circle so more people would be happier.

You guys are so uninformed. Don’t assume shit.
Please, it makes you seem ignorant. Look it up on other threads, it explains things to you that you probably didn’t even know about.
Like the MyCircle thing, you’ll be able to keep that for quite awhile, and Verizon may even adopt that aspect of it. Yes its wonderful, I must say to have 20 people you can call no matter what, for free no matter what. It sounds wonderful, and I know it is. I for one have always been a verizon wireless customer, but I know what I’m talking about. I apparently unlike many of you read.

And Alltel has the same “mobile to mobile” or “IN” free calling for alltel to alltel … But honestly the 20 my circle numbers I have I couldn’t live without. I can pick 20 numbers land line, mobile, sprint, att, it doesn’t matter .. ITS FREE!!! – but I do think its a crock that its not a 2 way thing with Verizon and Alltel yet. – PS:The Chad is great!!

“In Calling” is not important to me at all. I would rather have free “My Circle” calling to 20 people of my choice than the ability to call 80 million people I don’t know.

Actually sir or ma’am you are wrong, IN calling has nothing to do with Coverage area. Instead its everyone who is on the Verizon Wireless network, except for you since Alltel hasn’t been completely transitioned into the collective.

On nationwide plans, IN calling (Verizon Wireless Mobile to Mobile) is not limited to certain areas of the US– Its a nationwide plan and IN is nationwide as well.

@sastone

wtf are you talking about? you aren’t limited by where you are as long as you have coverage. i hate when people assume shit.

All this free calling to Alltel costumers is great but damn I loved the “IN” slogan…the whole ‘you need to get IN’ and ‘Come on, you’re not IN yet’ or ‘It’s all about the IN’ type of lingo was the shiiit…made ppl jealous now they went and f’d it up…come onnnnnnn!!!

Verizon should have either waited, or let those “certain” Alltel customers do the same thing, instead of this one-sided-ness.

ATT and Cingular immediately had free mobile-to-mobile calling and texting from day one, and both ways.

Good luck with Verizon, poor Allrel customers.

I’d have to say I’d rather have my circle than IN because IN calling is in limited area’s my circle you at least don’t have to pull out a map and check first.

It USED to be called mobile to mobile, and then they changed it to IN calling. When I first got Verizon service 6 years ago, I had “unlimited mobile to mobile calling”.

Yes we may not have “IN” as Alltel though we still have My Circle which in all honesty I prefer. So doesn’t bother me one bit :p

Alltel users: Come and get your Verizon looo-ve. Oh wait, you don’t get In calling.

No, mobile to mobile isn’t a trademarked thing, tmo, at&t and I think sprint all use that saying, yeah the sprint thing I’m not sure about… But either way, its used by almost everyone.

Doesnt’ att already advertise “mobile to mobile”? I guess it’s not trademarked/copyrighted or whatever
