Default Time with minutes and seconds

I am wanting to work with only minutes and seconds on a spead sheet to add
minutes of cellular time together. When I enter the minutes and seconds, it
converts to hours. Is their any way to do it. I am also havving the
problem, that it is giving the time a AM or PM in the formula. Thanks for
any suggestions.

You need to enter as 0:mm:ss
Otherwise Excel treats it as hh:mm

The AM or PM, and the rest are part of the format (default) for time
These can be changed to say [m]:ss this will show the total minutes,
without converting it/truncating it to hours

I am wanting to use the numbers of 2000 minutes and 34 seconds. How do I
keep it in that format without it changing to AM or PM.

Did you have difficulty reading Steve's answer? Format as [m]:ss.
