Rollover

[mgg]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

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. ;-)

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

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.

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".

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.

I just switched from SPRINTPCS to AT&T, With sprint I received two
spam SMS in the four years I was with them. With AT&T I have been
with for almost two weeks, I have received two spam SMS (I ported over
my number).

I hope it does not keep up but I would think that spamers are
targetting certain services mroe than others or they have different
levels of spam control.

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.

Sorry to have riled you. I was just sharing my experience. I thought you and

There is no way to have a rolling "rollover" figure. It is hard enough for them
to simply have an ongoing usage figure. And even with that, they do have a
disclaimer that the numbers may not be correct.

So, each month at the billing cycle, the Rollover minutes are calculated and
added to or taken from. This is then reflected on the bill.

Keep in mind that as each month progresses rollover minutes are not added to or
subtracted from until the billing date when they know how many minutes and
which direction that number needs to go.

Strange, until a month ago it was available online under "My Account".
Now banked rollover minutes don't show at all on the web.

Umm proven wrong? How could I possibly be wrong just sharing that I have had

Oh, maybe when I left my phone at your Mother's house that night after she
