|  Peak or Off-Peak minutes for Turkey Day?
Does anyone know which (if any) carriers consider Thanksgiving as off-peak minutes? If anyone has a list of all holidays, that would be great!

Hi: Thanksgiving is off-peak or free calling for Verizon (if you have a plan or service which bills different rates for off peak or has a promotion, of course.) I have no knowledge of the other companies. |

I know Verizon and Sprint PCS have Thanksgiving as off peak minutes. I'm also pretty sure most carriers consider it off peak (except for these new plans where nights start at 7 but i dunno).

Don't count on it on AT&T, Cingular or T-Mobile. They count as regular days.

Night and weekend minutes begin each day Monday-Friday at 9:00 pm, and end at 5:59 am the next morning. They also include: All day Saturday & Sunday New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day this is from At&Ts website!!

Sprint does not include Holidays as off peak minutes. They never have. This question comes up every time there's a major Holiday. | |

For ATT Wireless, Thanksgiving is one of 5 holidays for people on plans that include PROMOTIONAL N/W minutes. This does not include plans where N/W are a basic part of the plan. If you extended your contract for N/W, you would get Thanksgiving free on AWS.

My bad...I must have misread their fine print. However, I know that Cingular and Sprint don't count holidays as off-peak days.

Directly from an a-mail response from sprint counstomer service: "This is in response to your inquiry regarding the minutes usage on a national holiday. The Night & Weekend Minutes are applicable in the same manner as any other business day throughout the year, irrespective of holidays. Therefore, if a holiday falls on a weekend, the minutes will be pulled from the Night & Weekend Minutes, and if it falls on a weekday, the minutes will be pulled from the Anytime or Night & Weekend Minutes, depending upon the time you make or receive calls."
