They'll drop you once you hit three consecutive months using 50% of your minutes on a competitor's network. Except... this obviously isn't the case, since I've had the phone for so long. I think how it works is that you have to use 50% of your minutes on a competitor's network for calls that leave the tower. It's the only reason I can think of that would have allowed me to keep my service for so long. The last few months I was making a lot of calls downstate, which probably put me over.

I read the contract and the whole time was waiting for them to cancel my service. Here in Iowa it's on their primary network, so I plan on racking up a bunch of calls and minutes before I head back to MTU. We'll see how long I remain a customer of theirs...
