Alltel Wireless Celebrates One Year of 'My Circle'

In celebration of the first year of offering its innovative and exclusive "My Circle” calling feature, Alltel Wireless, America’s largest network, will hold special anniversary events at Alltel retail stores in the Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Cleveland, and Raleigh markets to thank customers for choosing Alltel and adopting "My Circle.” Each event will feature a scheduled appearance by the "My Circle” Prize Squad – made up of Alltel’s advertising spokesperson "Chad” and celebrity personalities, including: Celebrated former University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer in Oklahoma City; Country music superstar and Nashville Star co-host Cowboy Troy, Arkansas pro football draft prospect Jamaal Anderson and former All-Pro tight end and Arkansas football radio analyst Keith Jackson in Little Rock; Cleveland Cavaliers legend and national TV racing analyst Brad Daugherty in Cleveland; and Pro basketball star Raymond Felton in Raleigh. Alltel Wireless customers who attend the events will enjoy complementary food and drinks, an opportunity to visit with the "My Circle” Prize Squad and the chance to win a variety of great prizes. In addition, one lucky winner in each city will walk away with the "My Circle” anniversary grand prize – $5,000 and a VIP limousine ride to deliver $1,000 to each member of the winner’s ‘Circle.’ "When we introduced ‘My Circle’ last April, we knew it would set the standard in offering customers choice and control over their wireless experience,” said Frank O’Mara, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Alltel. "Though some competitors have responded with similar features, I’m proud to say that after one year, no one has come close to matching the freedom and flexibility of ‘My Circle.’ These anniversary events are just a small way to thank our valued customers for selecting Alltel as their wireless provider and for making ‘My Circle’ a success.” The following is the schedule of "My Circle” anniversary celebration events: Oklahoma City Cleveland Tues., April 24 - Tues., May 1 - 11:00 - 1:00 p.m. 11:00 - 1:00 p.m. 5401 North Pennsylvania Ave. 4608 Great Northern Blvd. Oklahoma City, Okla., 73112 North Olmsted, Ohio, 44070 Little Rock Raleigh Thurs., April 26 - Thurs., May 3 - 11:00 - 1:00 p.m. 11:00 - 1:00 p.m. Lakewood Village Shopping Center Crossroads Shopping Center 2935 Lakewood Village Dr. 2478 Walnut St. North Little Rock, Ark., 72116 Cary, N.C., 27511 Offered exclusively by Alltel Wireless, "My Circle” gives customers the freedom to choose who they call for free – any 10 numbers, any network.
