Rollover

Is there a way to check what's in your rollover "bank?" Since they
redesigned the website, it seems to be non-existent. I don't want to sound
like a pessimist, but it's like they don't want you to know how many so you
can't track it.

Thanks,

--Mike

Never assume serious intent when the problem is more easily explained as a
screwup. ;-)

You are 100% correct.


2 ways to check
1. - Call 611 and convince a CSR to tell you, or

2. wait for your monthly Bill and it will be there.

I usually dial *646# and wait a few seconds for the message.

That assumes your phone receives messages, I had that feature turned
off, not wanting to pay for SPAM.

*646# will currently give you misleading incorrect information, as it
does not subtract out Free Mobile to Mobile Minutes any longer (for
about a month now), if you call and ask, they have been saying "We're
aware of it, it'll be fixed in 2 weeks"; except two weeks is now FOUR.

Look at your "Bill" and it is on there - no other way that I have found. You
CAN look at your bill online so it shouldn't be that hard to determine your
"bank".

Yes you can download your bill from onliune, but thats 1 to 5 weeks out
of date.

I don't either, wouldn't you have to sign up for some
service and give out your info, for a spammer to have
the number to send spam? (kind of like e-mail, spam
comes to those who give out their e-mail)

I have yet to see messaging spam, and have had
text enabled phones for four years.

Then you sir are lucky, but please don't generalize your luck to the
rest of the free world.

Guess I'm lucky too then. Either that or you are unlucky. Either way,
Navas will probably send me an email asking me to knock this off.

Maybe, but Anecdotal evidence from individuals who do or don't get
messaging SPAM (which may or may nor be SMS) proves zero.

Anyone with more system-wide evidence to the extent of such Spam should
now contribute, the fact that CNN covered it earlier this year, means
its hardly isolated, although so far less common stateside than in
Europe or Asia.

I agree, I was just saying I've never had a problem with it, which is
why I use it. I guess if I had the problems you've had I'd be wary and
try to warn others as well.

0 SPAM here also. I have been using txt messaging and the like for 3 years
now and have yet to get a single SPAM from anyone.

Thanks, but that was no help at all.
