Verizon begins offering My Circle after purchase of Alltel

I think we all saw this coming, after all, Verizon wouldn’t just push away all the greatness of alltel into a dust-laden corner. I had a feeling Verizon would do something like this.

Well okay, maybe they didn’t exactly come right out and offer My Circle, but it’s a baby step.  On Verizon business plans, you can call your 5 favorite numbers for only an additional $4.99/mo.  Sounds pretty snazzy to me, and alot more simpler than T-Mo’s MyFaves.

Wondering when it will be offered to all Verizon customers? So do I.
