Who here has an old no longer offered calling plan that they don't want to get rid of? What is it and why are you keeping it?

The one with the oldest plan gets one million bonus points.

FYI In most cases you can tell what the birth date of your plan is by whats in your calling plan description. It will say something like America's choice 0504 meaning its birthday was 05/2004

I rocked a ton of sales with that plan (most everyone came in and switched it later cuz of overages due to no free nights and weekends).

I disagree with the hype of just because customer wants a new phone we need to make them pay more each month for it. If we're going to force them to pay more each month, we're just going to give them a reason to walk across the street and pay more each month there, unless (and i do believe) Cingular has their $59.99 FSP back...then they can sw...
