why dosen't verizon have rollover
What if I'm paying for a bigger plan and paying extra every month for a year...would that possibly come close to the amount that I would have paid for overages in one month that I go over? I haven't went over my minutes in years. All you have to do is check your minutes and call and change your plan if you need to. It blows my mind how many people don't realize that they are going over their minutes.
Post pay you have a plan that allows you up to a set number of minutes per month.
for one thing you never have to worry about overages cause you have a safety pool of minutes to rely on.
2nd. plans with vzw and att are idenitical;
for ex: 69.99 700mins and 89.99 1400 mins
they are the same plan in both company.
However I could sign up with att with 700 mins and save roll over minutes for one month and save $20 per month.
plus vzw does not offer nights and weekend starting at 7pm .
and the phone selection with att much better
Rollover minutes are only beneficial to a slim minority of customers who cant manage their use from month to month.
We never worry about minutes. We have high usage months and low usage months. We have gone from 300 minutes to 1300 minutes in a month and never pay any more than the $49 shared plan. The beauty of roll over is for those who usually do not use their minutes the majority of the time but then have those high usage months as well.
Its a great "gimmick" for us. I have not worried about minutes in years. Thats not bad for someone on the lowest calling plan.
Verizon won't do rollover. why should they? Their customers pay and pay and pay for everything. IF I were the...

To me, it seems like rollover is leaving money on the table.

I would guess as a business model then, VZW is the way to go. A CEO's job is to maximize profits for the stakeholders, so I figure he's doing his job. Why give away things for free when people will pay for it?

Indeed it may be. But not being a stockholder or employee of ATT I could care less about their bottomline.
As long as they are healthy. and they are. They are making money not losing money and are adding far far more customers then they are losing. I'll leave the number crunching to those in the cubicles who's job it is to care about that and those who buy stock in debt laden communication's companies.
Rollover looks great on paper, but most people dont even take advantage of the system. If you never go over your minutes, you just accumulate all of these minutes that will never be used because you never go over
You might want to direct your ire to the Sprint lounge. They are the carrier that meets those criteria.
I disagree. I personally prefer the performance I get with my VZW service over my former at&t service. IMHO, it's much better performance.
you dont "buy" minutes unless you are prepaid, and even them you dont buy minutes anymore, least not with VZW.
You pay a monthly rate to be allowed to use up to a certain number of peak network minutes. You dont "buy" 450 mintues for $39.99, you are given the privledge of being allowed to use up to 450 minutes.
Rollover is nice if you are on a higher rate plan and dont awlays use every minute, but come somewhat close or at least go well over the base plan minutes. For those of you who are on the base plan wiht rollover, you're just kidding yourselves. if you dont come close to your plan minutes every month, ...

Recursive geometric powers, or, unlimited plus unlimited taken to the 24 month contract cannot be divided by zero. Accounting systems just can't deal with it.
Especially if you spread it amongst the 4-5 billing systems within VZW, then apply the Langarian function with those results against the two companies (Vodafone and Verizon Corp). Definitely system overload.
If you want to discuss att, then go to the att forum. No one wants to get bogged down with people trying to convince us why att is better. Its just a waste of everyones time.

Its the verizon forum, not the att forum. Asking questions that will intentionally start flame wars if annoying and bogs down the forum.

we could do a Red vs. Blue thing using verizon and at&t...
