I wouldn't switch to cingular in our area. The coverage sucks ass. I have had T-Mobile, Verizon, Cingular, and ATT. The best so far, has been verizon. Att had shitty cutomer service, cinglari had limited coverage, and t-mobile raped you if you went over your minutes.

Yup! Just got raped by T-mobile as I went over my allotted minutes. I like the carry over minute Cingular gives. Does any other company do that?

Rollover is a Stinkular exclusive. Hey, gotta do something to get people to buy into a crappy network.

The whole rollover thing isnt that great to begin with...

Think about it this way:

If you talk a lot and use all your minutes, there wont be any left to roll over anyway.

And if you dont talk a lot, then all the minutes that roll over to the next month you probably wont use anyway.

My minutes are inconsistant. Most months, I am below. Then I have a silly month, go way over and wind up like last month ($57 extra in charges)....

Somehow I doubt Ken has to worry about charges for going over his monthly allowance.
