"Expiring" minutes/texts/data is a ludicrous scheme that should have 
been banned long ago. Most gift cards now no longer have expiry dates 
(at least here in New Zealand) because people complained, and yet 
telecoms companies are still getting away with the same money-grubbing 
scam. Back in ye olde days of a landline phone, you paid for your calls 
per minute, yet mobile phones suddenly had this "expiring" scheme that 
everbody stupidly accepts as "normal".  :-\

You should simply pay for what you actually use, like any other utility 
(electricity, water, petrol, etc.). The man from the petrol station 
does not come around at the end of the month to siphon out any 
remaining petrol left in your car's tank without any refund.
