I couldn't figure out whether to make this post a new one or to
continue here. Well, considering that the other topic is about something that the FCC is supposed to be doing, I figured that I'd post this subject as a new topic.
I did some calculations on the
other thread, and found that even not having unlimited nights and weekends does seem pretty good. This is making me wonder whether I really need unlimited nights and weekends, or whether I should switch to Cingular.
I'm wondering a few things, though. I noticed that the guy with Cingular service mentioned about his minutes expiring after a 12 month period. How exactly does this work?
Does this mean that
(1.) Your 12 month period starts when you first start service? So, if you started with Cingular on January 2004, then on January 2005 all of your Rollover minutes started?
Or
(2.) Your start your service on January 2004 and Rollover 100 minutes. These minutes expire on January 2005. You then Rollover 34 minutes from February 2004 to March 2004. These minutes expire on February 2005. Then you Rollover 57 minutes from March 2004 to April 2004. These minutes expire in March 2005.
Basically I'm wondering the policy on how long the minutes last.
Oh, and what about T-Mobile? And how about these free unlimited WAP offers that people are talking about?
How many text messages do you get, by the way? It seems that AT&T is the worst with text messages, cause I think that I saw T-Mobile gave like 1000 text messages for only $5.99?!?!? What about incoming messages?
Oh, by the way, I'm trying to find plans within $30. I'm a college student, and money is kind of hard. I'd like to stay under $100. This may seem far from it, but my wife also is on my account. So, we have two $30 plans. We each get 300 Anytime minutes and Unlimited Night and Weekend minutes. I then pay $9.99 for 300 text messages and my wife has 5.99 for only 100 text messages. I have the "Roadside Assistance" for around $2.99, which is kind of self-explanatory.
I think that's about it. That's about $80. The only problem is that with other service plans, most of the special offers start at $40 plans, even though they do offer $30 plans. For example, Cingular has a $30 plan, but does not offer Rollover with this plan. The $40 plan does have Rollover. Pease post as much help as you can!!!
Thanks very much!!!
