It's actually $70 for unlimited everything, which still isn't bad.  The catch is that if you leave your calling area, it's 15 cents a minute extra, or $9 an hour.<br><br>This kind of service would be great for people who talk/text/web a lot and don't leave their calling area much.  I would look into it if there was a GSM version offering the same plan.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bernardino]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2009 6:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon changing some plan names, gets Alltel in-network calling]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/17/verizon-changing-some-plan-names-gets-alltel-in-network-calling/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/17/verizon-changing-some-plan-names-gets-alltel-in-network-calling/</guid><description><![CDATA[No, it's actually $50 for Unlimited Talk, Web, DC, and Messaging.

All Alltel phones will eventually be supported on VZW. Whether or not VZW will brand their own Touch Diamond and continue to sell it remains to be seen. Personally, I would prefer the Touch Pro from Alltel, but seeing as VZW already offers their own crippled version, I don't see that changing any time soon. The ideal situation IMO would be to have a contract expiring right about now, get the Touch Pro from Alltel on a 2-year contract, and wait for the transition to VZW.<br><br>I wonder if you could by a used, Alltel-branded phone and activate it on VZW now...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CapnShiner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2009 3:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon changing some plan names, gets Alltel in-network calling]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/17/verizon-changing-some-plan-names-gets-alltel-in-network-calling/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/17/verizon-changing-some-plan-names-gets-alltel-in-network-calling/</guid><description><![CDATA[Anyone know if VZ customers can purchase Alltel phones?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2009 4:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon changing some plan names, gets Alltel in-network calling]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/17/verizon-changing-some-plan-names-gets-alltel-in-network-calling/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/17/verizon-changing-some-plan-names-gets-alltel-in-network-calling/</guid><description><![CDATA[The big question is will we still have "My Circle" after the merger dust settles?
