Combine that Alltel service with Google Voice and chose one of your free
options as a "favorite number" that you set to your Google Voice number.
You then have unlimited incoming and outgoing calls without using any
minutes because incoming calls are routed through Google Voice and come
from your "favorite number" and you call your Google Voice number to
place all outgoing calls and all outgoing calls are to your "favorite
number."


Good idea. What would you expect to see on caller ID when you do this?

Alltel has discontinued offering their own prepaid plans and
the 75 cents/day plan is no longer available.


"No longer available" applies to NEW customers. My service continues
to work as well as always. However, the options I chose are "text
messages" and "nights & weekends", and changing one to "favorite
number" might trigger that "no longer available" (requiring a Verizon
plan).
