why dosen't verizon have rollover
Because they don't have to have rollover. VZW has policies in place to help the customer when they are going over. They can change there plan any time they want without extending the contract. Also, VZW tries to educate the customer as to what plan will work best for them. I had Cingular/AT&T for 10 years and never once used my rollover minutes. They all expired. So, it sounds good in theory, but is not very useful to the average customer.

OK ArmySF for what? The comment you just said has nothing to do with verizon?
...
Yes. You should be able to use your minutes. Is that your argument? Are you serious? How about being on the right plan and saving money every month?
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.

but if your under you should be able to use your minutes in the future. You buy the minutes. THANK YOU

You buy your minutes on prepay!
Post pay you have a plan that allows you up to a set number of minutes per month.

Okay rollover does come in handy alot !!
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

THATS WHAT PEOPLE SAYING EVER DAY WHEN THEY WALK INTO THE EASTON STORE. THANK YOU

You don't buy the minutes, you buy or pay for access to the network. Technically you buy an infinite number of minutes, however are billed based on how much you pay and use.
Rollover minutes are only beneficial to a slim minority of customers who cant manage their use from month to month.

Rollover is great for people like us. We share 550 minutes and bank 300+ a month. We have well over 2000 in the roll over bank and there is no lesser plan we can get on.
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...

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

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 is when you did not use all your minutes and the minutes transfer to future months. It really is the only honest thing to do. Verizon would have more customers if they had rollover. 😁
...
Rollover is a gimmick that only helps people that dont use all of their minutes each month or have wild swings in minutes. Those of us who use most of our minutes don't have those issues. Verizon offers you the ability to change your plan whenever you like to try and avoid overages.
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

do u always use all of your minutes? Sometimes I have a few hundred that I don't use. It would be nice to have them in future months to come. I did pay for the minutes. ATT is making a killing on that. Verizon is defiantly losing out. just like they did on the Iphone
...
Making a killing? I don't think so. Loosing out, once again, I don't think so.
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.

gotta love how ATT people think they are "buying" their minutes and every other carrier steals them from them 🙄 🤣
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, ...

For me some months I use more minutes and some months I use less. I did pay for the minutes. People want rollover
...
you are missing the point. you do not pay for mintues. you pay for the use of the network for a certain amount of time each month (which just happens to be measured in mintues)

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.

It's plain nuts. They'd probably have to hire a bunch of Asic programmers from 60's and 70's to help sort it out.

oh cmon, you gonna leave me to fend for myself! We need to create some sort of leadership council or something, lol.

lol really tho I can't believe there is thread in here discussing roll over lol i give up...May the force be with you because everyone else has quit.

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