WTF I can't believe I just found out about this. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

azndoc · 10-28-2008, 10:18 PM

So I'm talking to my gf and I called her at 8:45 pm.

I know that I have free minutes after 9pm like everyone else and their mamas.

Then at 9pm she told me to hang up and call her right back. I asked why and she said that because if I don't then all the minutes after 9pm are still being charged.

This I never knew. I always just assumed that any minutes after 9pm would automatically not be counted.

I called a friend who works for AT&T and he confirmed this.

He also said but is unsure and has just heard about it, but if you call someone at 6:59 am and talk till 3pm its still considered free because you called before 7am.

WOW.....

I didn't know.

That's just the $50 a month Yeti insurance for the cell towers.

Pretty sure nobody in the US has a cell plan thats 25 dollars a month, unless its some sort of prepaid or pay as you go thing. And most certainly wont have free nights and weekends.

Almost all the carriers do that, including my beloved Verizon.

where do you hear that US plans are $25. most plans are like $40 minimum without tax, gov fees, etc.

for $29.99 you might get a bare bones plan with nothing except 300 minutes.

C. Senor · 10-28-2008, 11:42 PM

what? no one has yet to find it funny that jack said he has a gf?

cell phone companies are pretty sneaky some times. and it's 9:01 stupid companies!

ayuaddict · 10-28-2008, 11:45 PM

im finding it hard to believe that if you called somebody at 6:59 am and talk till 3pm its still considered free.

however i have no doubt on the opposite.

I LOL'd.

But, seriously.

azndoc · 10-28-2008, 11:48 PM

Well it's really a 1-900 kind of gf.

You know.......

Yeah you know Alex.

Fuck I haven't seen you in forever.

UfoZ8myCow · 10-29-2008, 12:17 AM

I literally have 15,000+ rollover minutes. That's 250 hours. Or about 10 1/2 days of continuous, nonstop talk time. Plus my minutes that accumulate every month because I have 1,500 minutes a month but usually talk on free nights and weekends.

The logical thing to do here would be to change my plan to the cheapest $9.99 a month 150 minute bullshit but if you change your plan, you lose all rollover minutes (lame). And its a lot cheaper to just be under your minutes and have a surplus than it is to go over and get charged by the minute for overages.

Cell phones are ghey.

I wish I could get along without one. The week I spent on vacation in Mexico last month with no cell phone or internet was soooo liberating.

azndoc · 10-29-2008, 12:19 AM

I'm kinda important you know.

So I need my cell phone.

j/k

No seriously I'm important.

Call me now.

Don't be scared.

Do it.

Especially if your a hot chick.

My plan with Sprint is $30/month with 500 minutes, free nights/weekends starting at 7pm, unlimited texts, unlimited data/web/email, etc,.

azndoc · 10-29-2008, 12:24 AM

Who has sprint these days.

I had that shit in HS.

Grow up.

94cc0rd · 10-29-2008, 12:27 AM

lol ok!

sprint isn't bad... it's not the best but for the rate i'm paying, it sure as hell is worth it...

touge monster · 10-29-2008, 12:39 AM

I got some Christmas deal many years back for AT&T. $50 a month, two lines 1000 minutes. pretty swt. no txt or internet though.

GSXRJJordan · 10-29-2008, 12:48 AM

Haha yeah I knew that. BTW, I can independently verify that Jack does indeed have a g/f, and she's cute, and she likes him!

I think it's funny that you're pinching pennies, but yet your car/drift game is ballin outta control... where I pinch pennies on my car, but my real life game is ballin outta control.

We're like Yin/Yang man. Black/white. Straight/gay. Guy/whatever-you-are. You get the idea.

azndoc · 10-29-2008, 12:56 AM

Ummmmmmmm you can't be ballin out of control.

I mean sure your fridge is stocked with Mountain Dew.

But it ain't Cristal champagne bottles son.

I'm broke right now.

Yeah, but did you notice I buy 24 packs? What chu know about datttt sonnn?!? FUCKING CUBE-O-SODA MAN! 24 fuckin cans at a time! BAAAALLLLLINNNNNNNN.

Thanks for restocking them after you took the last one

dynamicck · 10-29-2008, 01:06 AM

if you want unlimited minutes or until they cancel your account, use the T-Mobile My Fave 5 plan.

After you get the plan, sign up for grandcentral.com (google bought them a year ago). Now register the number on your Fave 5. Instead of handing out your cell number, give people your Grandcentral number. Grandcentral acts like a forwarding agent. One major problem, when they leave you voicemails, you have to check it through the website.

Also, if it works the other way, if you wanna call someone, you use grandcentral, and it bridges your number and theirs for free. Again the problem is, you need to use the website to dial out as well.
