I agree. See my subsequent dialogue with John. It DOESN'T make much
sense when you have those rollover minutes on tap.

In the case I am familiar with (one of my employees) bumped up to go to
a family plan to include her grown son and aged mother. She "thought"
she might well need the additional minutes and bumped the package
without thinking it out. Shit happens.

Personally, I cannot think of any reason for ANYONE to lose minutes on
this scheme through UPGRADING. Unfortunately it can and does happen.

Like you say, the smart way is to plod along and burn up those rollover
minutes before changing the plan.
