"Your World.....Delivered"

For those of you who've talked to me lately, you may have heard me ask you to speak louder. My 3-year old cell phone has ran its course & it's been trying to relay this message to me by having the ear sound disappear when it deemed fit. Like with everything else I buy, I have to conduct extensive research before buying & was ready to defect from Cingular (J gave tmobile rave reviews) until I learnt how rollover minutes work. I'm currently on the $39.99 plan where you only get 450 minutes that roll over. I have ~1600 rolled over minutes which are set to expire in September. Since tmobile had a $39.99 plan with 1500 minutes, I was about to defect until I googled "how do rollover minutes work?"


Turns out not all the rolled over minutes drop off after 12 months (which would be Sep for mine). Are you still with me? Instead, only the oldest minutes drop off every month e.g. if I accumulated 200 rollover minutes last year Sep, then this year only 200 minutes will drop off....not the entire stash of minutes. And so it continues every month. I am absolutely ecstatic. I don't have to change carriers because I will still have plenty of rollover minutes left over every month to supplement the very dissmal 450 minutes alloted for $39.99. Color me impressed if you made it to this sentence.
