In my opinon, role over minutes are the one thing that seperates
Cingular from there competition. I've been able to bank a b bucket of
minutes and then since I use my phone for business durring the day use
these minutes on months when I make more calls. It's a goopd thing and
even though some other carriers may offer a better monthly rate the role
over will keep me with Cingular

If you consistantly have rollover minutes you have picked a price plan
with too many minutes.

Incorrect logic. What if you use about 350 mins/mo? You can't take the
250 min/mo plan. You have to take the 500 min/mo plan. These examples
are from the Detroit new Nation Plan (GSM only). You may be paying
more, but it's cheaper than .45/min over the 250 mins.

That's easy for you to say.... What Cory needs to do is look at his
average roll-over minutes under his current plan rate, and factor the
cost of those same average minutes as 'extra-cost minutes' under a
lesser plan. Cory, keep in mind that extra-cost minute charges only
apply for minutes acually used, not just rolled over but unused.

Whichever plan (+ extra minute charges + taxes) produces the lesser
out-of-pocket expense is the plan for him, based upon his average
usage profile over a three or even six month period.

Clear as mud, heh?

Not having any of them I can't answer how well it works.

But, I think it is a GREAT thing. After all, I buy those minutes every month so
I should be able to (eventually) use them!

There are a lot of times when you might not use all your minutes and there are
going to be times when you need more minutes. Why not carry them over.

I applaud Cingular for being first!

I Love my roll-over minutes. My wife loves to gab with everyone and
these minutes really help us keep our bill on a manageble level.

It's good especially if you're out of the country for weeks at a time.
You have to continue having service so why not keep the minutes you pay
for but can't use...?
