With the acquisition of Alltel, it looks like Verizon is set to bring the same My Circle goodness to its business users. Verizon is rolling out its own free-calling circle plan, of sorts, for subscribers of the No. 2 US wireless carrier’s Verizon Freedom for Business unlimited long-distance plan.
A penny shy of $5 every month will net business users the ability to have unlimited conversations with up to 5 people. But, here’s the catch. Those 5 phone numbers to which Verizon customers can talk all they want have to be wirelines, which we suppose is just honky-dory for enterprise subscribers that do a lot of jabbering for official business. How the plan will translate (if at all) for Verizon’s non-enterprise customers is still unclear.
