Important My Circle question need quick response
I've been with Alltel forever, and I'm not talking 2 years. I've had this company since the bag phone era.
Here is my dilemma: I was on the 1200 minute plan between the 4 in my family, and every month my college son would just about use 1200 minutes, leaving the rest of us to use overages. About 3 weeks ago, I went into Alltel and upped my rate plan, and the saleswoman told me about the My Circle (I never had a clue about this thing). That night I put my 7 numbers or whatever it was online at www.alltel.com and it showed up.
HOWEVER
This morning (4-21) I checked my bill at Alltel.com and low and behold the bill is again outrageous and my My Circle numbers seem to be gone.
My question is, is this ...

As far as MyCircle, your numbers are effectively free at midnight the day you entered them, or 12:01 the next day. Customer care should have a record of your account changes, and can re-rate your bill to correct errors.
I always suggest visiting your local store, even for things like this. Come in with the attitude that we're there to help you as best we can, not waste your time.
Be carefull though, as there are a lot of sales reps that are more concerned with ARPU/time, than they are with taking care of their customers.
Every person that walks into a retail location, is a potential accessory sale, at the very least, not just a customer service issue. You need to head back to training. Were you in my store, I'd fire you with that type of attitude.
Every customer is important, no matter how simple the issue is. It's important to make sure that customers come into the stores in order to gain their trust, and their business. Otherwise, what are you being paid for, to take payments? I can get a computer to do that, and save the company 20 thousand dollars a year.
But here's something to keep in mind (which is true with every cellphone carrier):
Once any of the lines on account have gone over the peak minutes allowance, ANY usage (whether its N/W, M2M, etc.) are used toward overage minutes. It's kind of lame, but it's the truth...

My Circle numbers cannot be backdated so if overages were incurred it was more than likely from usage previous to the My Circle numbers being put in. Also, after you input the My Circle numbers, simply logout and log back into My Account to make sure your numbers updated. Sometimes there is a glitch but often times there is also human error that prevents these numbers from going into effect.
Hope that helps.
