Re: Staying where I am

Roll-over minutes is a way to say you're too lazy to have signed up for the proper minutes plan and you're paying more than you should for what you use. It also guarantees that ATT has a death-grip on you as its one more thing they can use to make you stop changing carriers or even making changes to your current plan.

First off, how do you how many minutes you will use in the future ? Maybe you're coming from another carrier and you know though. Now, let me make up a far-fetched scenario... I don't know ATT's minute plans either. Let's say they offer 400 min, 800 min, and so on. With the previous carrier, you used 550 min on average. What do you pick ?

I don't know about others, but I'm enrolled in the cheapest voice plan at at&t and still have around 3,000 roll over minutes. Does that mean I should cancel my plan altogether and not use a cell phone? I wouldn't call it a death-grip but rather a perk for staying. I'm also one of the people who have expired contracts and am free to choose. At&t hasn't been perfect but it's been good enough for me and from my experience of carrier juggling, they've all been relatively the same.

Same here. I have a 550 minute plan (for two phones), but don't use the phone a lot. 550 minutes is the smallest plan for the family plan at the time I got it. So stuff your pretentious assumption that as a consumer I don't know anything. Jeez.

I'm on the lowest plan (550 minute family plan shared with 3 people). Tons of rollover minutes available. The voice portion of my AT&T service is dirt cheap. If only they weren't ripping us off for text and data.

I'm on a family 550 with rollover - I have ~5000 rollover minutes :P
VZW's plan (even current AT&T plans) are too expensive - no incentive for me to move.

I hear you - I'm still on the 550 plan - since I don't have text either, its pretty decent. Add in a 28% discount on service from work, and its reasonable.

Good to know! My last billing cycle said I used just over 4,000 anytime minutes.. I have the unlimited voice plan at $70 a month. I think that would say that I have a death grip on AT&T I suppose.
