Which are consumed first?
I'm think of moving to a plan which allows for rollover of minutes. I understand that rolled over minutes expire if not used after a year (11 months)a month at a time thereafter. My question is, if I were to go over my alloted number of minutes in a given month, are the minutes used from that point on taken from the oldest monthly bank of minutes until zero then taken from the next oldest and so on?
If on this type of plan are the rolled over minutes visible in your account by month and the number of minutes or is it displayed as one grand total?

Another good question on which comes first is if you have unlimited mobile to mobile, but only 5000 nights and weekends. And its a night or weekend, and you call mobile, does it use the 5000 or your unlimited mobiles? Thats another good question, i think they set it up to purposly get ya.

the term inthe business is rate of consumption.
lets say you have 450 rollover unlimited mobile to mobile and 5000 nights and weekends.
if you make a mobile to mobile call after 9pm then it will be counted as a night and weekend call and not a mobile to mobile call.
if you run out of nights and weekends then all of your mobile to mobile calls after 9pm will be mobile to mobile but regular calls after 9pm will be regular minutes.
if it is a regular minute then it will go against your dt calling minute plan. if you run out of regular minutes then it will use your banked rollover minutes. if you run out of banked rollover then it will bill you your per minute charge.
your rollover minutes are gained in chunks per month. so i...

We can see them in our billing system on a month by month screen, on your bill it will tell you how much you rolled from the current month and then add it to your pool giving you a total. And to answer the other question, they use the first rolled minutes first, so that they don't expire.
