You've got that all wrong, Elmo. From INSIDE my region, I can call any
phone in the country, including AK and HI without LD charges. As I rarely,
if ever, go outside my region, I never have roaming charges.

If I do decide to sneak down to Florida for some fun and games, I buy 100
mins of nationwide service for $10 either off the alltel webpages or just
call 611 and have it added on....10c/min nationwide service ONLY WHEN I
WANT IT.

The regional plan makes more and more sense every week as every travel
price, especially fuel, skyrockets, keeping more and more Americans HOME.

How many days last month did you spend out of your state and the states
around your home?....out of a regional plan. Wouldn't twice as many
minutes or a plan that gave you the same minutes at half the price have
been a better, more economical deal....especially now that you know you can
call anywhere in the country from inside that region without extra LD
charges?
