While I text way more than I probably should, the dominat chunk of the messages sent are to a small handful of people. For the sake of saving folks like me a few ducats, Alltel has made a change to their My Circle plans which adds unlimited texting to/from anybody within your circle.

It’s not a free texting pass, however; you still have to be subscribed to a messaging pack costing at least $7.99. If you’ve got a bigger group of text buddies, you can still subscribe to the unlimited texting plan for 20 bucks a month. Plan changes begin today.
