Alltel Wireless Expands 'My Circle' for New and Existing Customers

Exclusive feature now includes plans with five or 20 numbers to
receive unlimited free calling on any network
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--(Business Wire)--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.

Alltel is owner and operator of the nation's largest wireless
network and has more than 12 million customers. For more information
