Cingular wireless
There is currently only one company that offers rollover
minutes and that is Cingular wireless. Most cell phone users waste an
average of forty seven minutes a month with their cell phone plan. What I
can't figure out is most of these people are the same ones that take
doggie bags home from the restaurant because they paid for the meal and
they don't want to waste money.
Let's say you have a cell phone plan that gives you
three hundred minutes a month. If you were to waste forty seven minutes a
month because you don't have a cell phone plan with rollover minutes how
much would would you waste a year. Yep that's right about ten hours a
month! That is a lot of time on your cell phone plan that you could of
used or in a rollover minutes plan you could of saved for the next
month.
Currently only Cingular wireless calling plans have this
rollover minutes feature but I am sure most cell phone plans will have
some sort of rollover minutes included in the future. Sprint is rumored to
be changing their calling plans as of this writing to some sort of
flexible minute calling plan. The details are not out yet on this cell
phone calling plan.
If you use your cell phone much of the time rollover
minutes really don't come into play. You probably already have a lot of
minutes on your cell phone plan. If you are a light user getting a cheap
cell phone plan with limited minutes is also a good idea. Rollover minutes
are really aimed at the casual user or people that use the cell phone
daily.
Rollover Minutes explained
Here is how rollover minutes work. You use your phone
for three hundred minutes and you have a four hundred minute cell phone
plan. The one hundred minutes that you didn't use gets carried over to the
next month. That month you can use five hundred minutes the four hundred
you paid for plus the one hundred minutes you carried over from the
previous month. That's it in a nutshell. Some restrictions apply to
carrying over so many minutes and you have to read the fine print in the
cell phone service plan to find out what that limit is.
If you are thinking about joining Cingular you
should read some reviews that some happy customers have sent to me.
