Rollover vs. Fair and Flexible (since F&F is dying)
Here's my beef with sprint losing the Fair and Flexible:
For the longest time, we had commercials say that with the Fair and Flexible, you would never have unfair overages.
This is obviously the advantage between the two plans, here's why:
Cingular Plan - 900 min w/rollover - $59.99/mo
Sprint Fair and Flexible - 900 min w/30 min for $5 - $59.99/mo (7pm nights for free, for this comparison, let's assume the customer didn't use a single minute between 7 and 9.)
Month 4, 825 min used.
Cingular - $59.99 - 75 min into rollover bucket
Sprint - $59.99.
Advantage - none
Month 5, 1049 min used.
Cingular - $59.99 + $29.60 for overage minutes. 0 left in rollover bucket. Total $89.59
Sprint - $59.99 + $25.00 for overage. Total $84.9...

Apparently only something like 15% of people go over there minutes on the F&F nationwide. So I suppose in their nation-sized eyes, only 15% of people will be unhappy with it.
We'll still have 7pm n&w and the option of buying one bucket of overage minutes (not automatically put on-which is just stupid!).
Then again, I could be misinformed as I almost always am with this effing company.
