SprintPCS may short staff its Call Centers on Holidays, but as far as
your Calling plan goes, Monday is a Monday and Daytime is PrimeTime,
a as far as your anytime minutes go.

You'd be surprised how many people over on the VZ newsgroup keep asking,
year after year, "is HOLIDAY_X charged as off-peak"...

Funny. All my calls on Easter were free. I guess it's some holidays and
not others, right?

Easter was on a Sunday, so that would count as unlimited night and
weekend minutes.

But other carriers have Holidays where minutes are like "weekends",
so some SprintPCS users get caught by that. Sorry you don't like the
idea of being helpful.

Duh - easter usually falls on a Sunday, and if you minutes for free it
was because you have free weekends, and not because it wasEaster.

Yeah- why should Sprint employees be allowed to enjoy the holiday, like the
rest of the country? After all, Phil might have a need to contact ES, and
anything more than a 30 second hold time (holiday or not) would be totally
unacceptable.

His point is either to troll or to bitch about Sprint.

Out of curiosity, which carriers and which holidays? Or can't you tell
us?

Duh, yourself. You obviously totally missed the very obvious sarcasm
directed at you by the comment about Easter minutes being free.

Well, I know that Verizon and AT&T consider the following to be free
airtime holidays:

New Year's Day
Memorial Day
4th of July
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day

This is very old news and clearly spelled out in the Sprint contract.
So, your point in posting this is...?

The point is that it is good that someone posted this... regardless of
who did it. Every holiday, it never fails that someone in this
newsgroup asks if "X" holiday is free airtime.

Whats trolling about reminding folks that a National Holiday is not a
Holiday on your calling plan. THATS A GOOD FACT.

Not everyone is aware of it, so They are being reminded, is that not
reasonable?

Yes, every holiday a necessary reminder.

Correct, but not SprintPCS (which is their right) but hence an
innocent reminder, which trolling apologists get bent out of shape. I
guess they miss having holidays.

This post doesn't have anything to do with your nom de plume of Troll
Phillipe. You earned that for everything else you've done in this newsgroup.

What's more, no one asked about Memorial Day and whether it was free to call
.... have they?

In any event, happy Memorial day to everyone. Let's try to spend the
day with our loved ones (if we can) and salute those in uniform who have
served and are serving our country.
