AT&T is telling me that I will lose my 5k roll over minutes when I sign a new contract, not a deal breaker but sucks in my opinion
 
If your not changing your main service plan such as downgrading your monthly minutes, you shoudlnt lose your roll over minutes.
 
yeah, im going from a 4000 minute family plan to the "iphone" 4000 minute family plan.

not looking forward to fighting with them to keep my 6500 rollover minutes in tact...
 
Agreed, As long as you don't mess with the 'voice' portion of your plan you're fine. Just tell them you want the $30 data add-on, and that's it!
 
From everything I've read, it's not an extension of your contract, it's a NEW contract. If it's truly a NEW contract, then you will lose your rollover minutes.

If the OP called AT&T and they said this, then it's probably true - though we all know each CSR has a different answer to every question.
 
the only time you will lose your roll over minutes is when you downgrade your service. For instance, your currently on a 6000 minute plan with 5000 roll over minutes. Then you downgrade your service to 450 minute plan, then your new roll over minute count will be 450 and not 6000

its an extension to your existing contract although your contract wont be longer than 2 Years...

I have made several changes to my account going from iPhone plan to BB Plan to regular handset plan and now back to iPhone plan. I still have my 7K roll over minutes.
 
Works for me. Originally it was said to be a new contract - I haven't paid much attention since.

I'm keeping the original one. 3G coverage in my area is spotty and not worth the extra $15 a month. I already have GPS too.

Kind of irrelevant for this thread.. sounds like your trying to convince yourself that you dont want the new iPhone by saying you dont NEED the new iPhone :)

I was just responding saying you probably know more then I do. I added that to say I haven't really been paying much attention to how the contract is altered.
 
Folks who have upgraded from an original iPhone to an iPhone 3G:

Have you been able to keep your existing rollover minutes, or have they been taken away when you activate your new iPhone 3G and sign your new contract?
