VZW considers the following as holidays for billing purposes:
New Year's Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
And since July 4th will fall on a Sunday this year, your 'holiday' day
will be July 5th.

And the other standard factoid: Holidays are considered "off peak/night",
not "weekend". The distinction is only relevant for people with plans
that have a weekend-only allowance, like some older Single Rate plans. The
usual thing these days is "unlimited nights and weekends".

--> This is probably incorrect. When I was a singlerate customer with the
2000 weekend minutes, I *always* got the minutes deducted as "weekend" when
folks with nights/weekend got it billed as their respective off-peak. We
used to have 9 holidays in my market and we now have 6.
To be blunt, simply try this one year-- make an otherwise peak minute call
on a holiday, then see how it gets billed. In my experience, it *always*
got billed as weekend holiday minutes, even with a plan that only had
weekend minutes.
Unless you have data to support your claim, please don't perpetuate
misinformation by guessing.

Holidays have been always billed as Off-peak on all plans in our family that
included Weekend-only minutes as Off-peak. The biggest change was the
recent billing system changes. For us, the only change was losing one
'Holiday', the day after Thanksgiving. But hey, we still have Easter. ;-)
Plans still vary somewhat, but markets are far more uniform this year.

This may be another one of those market-dependent things (I am in the SF
Bay area). I have SRN with 3200 weekend minutes, and I HAVE made calls
on holidays specifically to check this, and they HAVE been billed to me
as off-peak, and thus out of my main bucket, not my weekend bucket. But
I will make a point of making a call this coming Monday to see what it
does now, and I'll rummage through my bills and find this situation.

Yep, there it is. I am looking at my July 2003 bill for my SRN plan
with 3200 weekend minutes.
Time/date: 07/04 12:41P
Duration: 2 min
Rate Period: O = Offpeak
Usage Type: A = Price Plan Minutes
During that period, calls during weekends were billed with Rate Period:
W = Weekend, Usage type: Y = Promotional Allowance. Of course, all this
shows is that in the SF Bay Area in July, 2003, holidays were billed
offpeak. It says nothing about other markets, and now.

Yes it will. I had that confirmed by multiple CS reps. And hey, if they
didn't do it, we would be losing 1/6 of our free days for the year and have
something to bitch about.

Why is it that "more uniform" always translates to less for some rather than
more for some?!? VZW could have added the day after Thanksgiving for those
who did not already have it. ;-)
