How is ATT GoPhone's rollover feature unique?

Many prepaid providers renew the current balance if funds are added to the account before the previous balance expires. The concept of rollover may be uncommon in contract based plans, but is there anything special about ATT's rollover in prepaid?
I am referring specifically to one of the 'Advantages' listed on their page:
"
• Rollover® Balance™ lets you carry over your unused account balance when you refill before your balance expires, up to the account maximum
"

(I believe there do exist some providers that expire minutes/funds on the expiration date regardless of refill events. I have yet to hear of a prepaid plan adds both minutes and time to the existing value. Ie. if I bought two 100 minute/30 day cards and applied them the same day, I would get 200 minutes for 30 days not 200 for 60 days. I was hoping this might perhaps be the case with Rollover® Balance™)
 
AT&T only offers rollover minutes for contract plans. The GoPhone plans are strictly prepay or pay as you go. In a way, though prepay is sort of like rollover minutes, because as long as you keep topping up, you unused minutes/credit will roll forward.
