C Spire Is Now Offering Roll Over Data For many years people wondered why cellular carriers couldn't roll over mobile data bytes in the same way they rolled over voice minutes. According to a company announcement, C Spire will now be doing just that, the company offering plans of $40 a month for 2 GB, $55 a month for 4 GB and $65 a month for 6 GB (including unlimited talk and text) with unused data getting rolled over to the next billing cycle. If you're a contract user on a subsidized device, the plans bump to $65 a month for 2 GB, $80 a month for 4 GB and $90 a month for 6 GB. "These plans are truly customer inspired as we want consumers to use their data however they like," proclaims C Spire.

I hope that AT&T follows along with this. I'd like to be able to rollover our new double data plan.

Matamoras, PA andrewc2 Member Re: Next best thing to unlimited Cingular had this before current AT&T (Bell) bought them back. So I doubt they'll ever do that, it's more profitable to charge you overages!



Remember that AT&T Wireless was bought by Cingular Wireless, who was bought by Ma Bell (AT&T) BiggA

Anchorage, AK koolman2 Premium Member How much can you save up? How much data can you save up? With AT&T rollover minutes I think it was twelve months when the minutes would expire.



I'd expect it to be capped to your monthly plan's worth. 2 GB plan? save up to 2 GB. existenz

join:2014-02-12 existenz Member Re: How much can you save up? It sounds like it's up to doubling the monthly plan. So if you have a 2GB plan, you can rollup to max 4GB for future month(s). If you use 1GB month one, that's 3GB month after then if only use 1GB that month, then 4GB next month. No more than 4GB max on a 2GB plan or 16GB on an 8GB plan, etc. I think that's how it works, not sure.



Not as good as rollover minutes good for a year but once someone starts it, someone else will top it then someone else will top them.

Springfield, MA IowaCowboy Premium Member Once T-Mobile does it VZ will follow suit C-spire is a small carrier, so they won't put a dent in Verizon. But once T-Mobile does it then VZ/T may follow suit.

@108.203.100.x tb Anon Re: Once T-Mobile does it VZ will follow suit T-Mobile has terrible coverage where they overlap with C-spire, I wouldn't expect TM to change it to compete with CSpire. In fact, I seriously doubt Cspire cares much about T-Mobile, their competition is VZ/ATT/Sprint/TM in that order.



Their only competition in Mississippi for coverage outside of cities is Verizon (who is generally better), Verizon has a 1 GB pre-paid plan for $45/month, I suspect this is probably built for CSpire to compete with VZ as 2 GB for $40 and a max 1x monthly rollover thumps that pretty good. I'll be doing one or the other when my 2 year contract expires in August. Prepaid for me and screw ever getting on another contract again. dimzero

join:2014-09-04 dimzero Member They silently dropped their unlimited They got rid of their unlimited postpaid services when this plan came out. They still have prepaid unlimited data but I'm sure it's well throttled. your comment..
