A bunch of changes on the website

I've noticed there are now tiered levels of My Circle, ranging from 5
to 20 numbers, depending on the plan you have. Also, you are now
given a color status for your My Circle service, purple for MC 10 and
green for MC 20. Both of those levels allow you free use of Mighty
Backup, an Axcess Shop utility that backs up your phone's contacts
every day. You can then restore them to your phone, or transfer them
to a new phone. Additionally, for MC Purple and Green, you will get
additional "bonus" MC numbers on your two year anniversary of MC
service (which, IIRC, began in April, 2006). The website mentions all
those features but it doesn't appear to be set up to use those
features fully yet.

At the same time, they took my very grandfathered 600+100 Total
Freedom plan, which had not qualified for My Circle, and gave me My
Circle. My wife's phone, the lowest 500 National Freedom, is on the
same account and appears to share those My Circle numbers.

This must require certain phones; neither of ours are Axcess endowed.

Interesting ... as a subscriber for 8 or 9 years who just was granted
MC, I suspect my time started near the end of January08; who knows
what might happen. Regretfully for me, we will have very little
advantage; my calls are so distributed that only 18% of my minutes in
2007 were to the top 10 numbers; my wife uses under 100 minutes a
month.

Have a great week!

It may be a bit more restrictive than that. I have an Axcess capable
phone, but Mighty Backup is nowhere to be found.

Close but not quite right.

The Green level is for accounts with a primary phone rate plan of
$39.99-59.98. The purle level is for those plans 59.99 and above.

Oh, and the website (especially My Account) had all of this fully
integrated when they rolled out the upgrade on 1/13/08.

Yep. As soon as I sent it I realized I should not have included the
plans below $49.99.
