If you want a cheap alternative to regular mobile service you'll have
to play the game of expiration dates or adding money to accounts. All
of the traditional prepaids will roll over any amount you have in your
account provided you put more money in prior to any expiration date.
I personally don't see where continuing to bank minutes is a bad
thing. You'll have those minutes to use if you need them.
