Unused minutes roll over to the next month. The 2 year contract is if you get a handset subsidy. I have no contract as I am using an unlocked Orange K750i.
This unlimited calling is to any US number consider that the equivilant of having unlimited european roaming and free calls to any EU number land or cell.
The best Cingular benefit is being able to add more handsets to the same contract for $10 a month.
Contracts map differently and certainly the roaming costs in the EU mean that there is no eqivilant plan.

Yup. I do know a lot about the US mobile system. One thing to point out to people here is that unless you have a Nextel (and now Sprint PCS?) Incoming calls use your minutes, so 900 isn't as good as it first sounds.
