No. On F&F I pay $50 per month for 700 minutes. If I go over 700, it
automatically adjusts up. If I use 701-800 it's adjusted another $5, if I use
801-900 it's adjusted $10 and so on up to 2000 minutes. After that, overages
are 5 cents/minute. The rate doesn't ever get adjusted down - if you get set up
on the $x/month plan, you will always pay at least $x per month.

Option 2 starts with a higher number of minutes, is $5/month for 100 minutes
and 5c/minute after 2000. That's because it's designed for people who use more
minutes every month. Option 1 starts at 300 minutes per month and is cheaper
but you pay $10/month for each additional 100 minutes and 10c/minute after
2000. If you don't get on the high-usage plan, and you use 700 minutes in one
particular month, it will cost you more than 700 minutes on the high-usage
plan. But if you don't use lots of airtime in any given month, the low-usage
plan will make more sense for you, long-term.
Does this answer your question?

Then the CSR was probably not well-trained. I figured it out as soon as I
opened the F&F brochure.
