Verizon Wireless customers on some qualifying plans will soon be able to pick five or 10 phone numbers that they can call for free, without using their plan's minutes.
Verizon Wireless, now the country's largest carrier, is calling the feature "Friends & Family." It will mimic a popular feature called "My Circle" at Alltel, a rural carrier that Verizon Wireless bought in January. There is no added charge for the service and will be available starting Sunday.
Former Alltel customers will be able to keep the option when they sign up for new plans, and it extends to other Verizon Wireless customers.
Customers on single-line plans starting at $60 per month will get five free numbers, and those on family plans starting at $90 per month for two lines will get ten free numbers.
Subscribers will need to sign up for the feature and pick their numbers online.
