peak/offpeak/weekends/night

Ok, the quote you had has it right, but if you are still confused, here it is broken down a little more. If you make a call between 9:01 pm and 5:59 a.m your minutes will be deducted from your night minutes. Between 12:01 am on Saturday (basically midnight on Friday night) until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday night, those will deduct from your weekend minutes. Anytime during the day, Monday through Friday between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm you make a call to any number that is not a verizon mobile phone will deduct from your daytime (peak) minutes. Anytime you call a Verizon mobile number between 6:00am and 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday will deduct from your mobile to mobile minutes. If you call a Verizon customer between 9:01 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. it will deduct from your night minutes (at least here in Michigan). If you call a Verizon mobile customer between weekend times it will deduct from your weekend minutes. Also, certain holidays like was mentioned (Christmas, Easter, New Years Day, and Thanksgiving I think but I am not sure, there may be more) any usage will be deducted from off peak minutes, your off peak minutes are your night/weekend minutes.

 

To put is simply, offpeak is any time that is not peak such as nights, weekends or holidays.

 

Looking at this breakdown is just one more reason why I like Sprint. Weekend begins Fri 9pm-Mon7am.

But my question is this; someone once told me that for holidays, N/W minutes are used. Is this true?

 

Depends on the carrier. Cingular stopped doing that and now holidays are billed as regular daytime rates.

 

If using mobile 2 mobile during the night or weekend.... what bucket do the minutes come from? Verizon I believe come out of mobile 2 mobile first what about sprint?

 

Yes, I have heard they do take them from your Mobile 2 Mobile bucket rather than night and weekend. So, it makes more sense, if you can, to call someone's landline rather than their cell if they are on Verizon.

 

If you have unlimited pcs2pcs, then there is no question where the minutes are coming from.

 

This is not true with Verizon.

With Verizon, off peak is for peak hours on a holiday. For example, Christmas Day is Wednesday.
On Verizon, calls made between 6am-9pm will be considered off peak (charged as n/w minutes, but show as off peak on billing statements)
After 9pm that day, nights then apply.

However, that day only, you would not be charged peak minutes.
