    Just switched to Cingular and have a question about rollover minutes.
    Cingular states that rollover minutes expire after 12 months - what
    exactly does that mean?

    1. All rollover minutes are gone after 12 months and the rollover plan
    starts again from scratch.

    OR

    2. Only the last 12 months of rollover minutes are kept (i.e. the
    initial months start dropping off as new months come in).

    Thanks,
    Harvey

    2 is correct. Rollover minutes from current month only will expire in 12
    months. -Dave

    Thanks. When I dug up old posts on this (GOOGLE), there was no clear cut
    answer (a lot of ambiguity) ranging from all expired in 12 months with
    no replacement in ensuing months to continual replacement with only the
    previous 12 months counting (#2 option in my original post). This
    actually makes for a decent plan.

    Thanks,
    Harvey

    Exactly, month 13, the minutes (if any) from month 1 drop off. You basically
    have your last 12 months (or "X" months if less than 12) all the time - unless
    of course you use them.

    What about in month 3 ??

    Is one using Month 1's rollover first, or month 2's ?

    Oldest R/O minutes get used first. So, if you have 1 month old, 5 month old
    and 7 month old minutes in your R/O account, the 7 month old minutes get
    used first. (Month 1's first, month 2 second, month 3 third etc)

    Officially you lose them. I called customer care and complained that the
    store salesman said I would keep them. They credited me my old rollover
    minutes within an hour. The official answer is above, one months worth
    on minutes. I was very satisfied with their response.
