Unlike other carriers, July 4 (and this year July 5) comes out of your
anytime minutes, and not Nights and Weekends.

However SprintPCS Customer Service is closed today.

At least thats what the automated Voice said at the Business # of:

1-888-788-4727

Moron.

July 4th falls on a weekend this year.

How about retail Customer Service? Did you try 888-211-4727? It makes
more sense for Business customer service to be closed. I'd expect retail
CS to be open. Many large organizations that would normally speak to the
business CSRs are closed today.

I'm not holding for a rep since I don't need to speak to one, but pressing
2, entering my phone number, and pressing 0 for a CSR places me in queue
for a CSR. I assume that if 211-4PCS was not available, I'd get a message
saying they're closed.

Funny, my calls on the 4th did not come out of my anytime minutes. I
guess Sprint has finally decided to add holiday minutes, probably thanks
to the dedicated efforts of people like you.

Yea, yea, you yell this every time there's a business day federal
holiday. Can you just get it out of the way for the next holiday,
Labor Day (in Sep) and get it over with for the summer?

Oh, and incidentally, this is a FEDERAL holiday and not all that many
businesses recognize it. I just went out shopping and everywhere I
went, and every business I glanced at along the way, were open. Not
much of a holiday for them.

I think the name of the minutes you are talking about tell you what to
expect: NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS. Let's see, this is Monday - not a NIGHT
and not on a WEEKEND.

Moron.

I hope you didnt need to call *2 or a Sprint 800 number, cause they WERE
CLOSED Monday. July 5 was a Holiday for SprintPCS.

Duh, read the post. July 4 (and this year July 5) is what was said.

Whats so complicated about "this year July 5" that you didn't understand.

There were no Holiday minutes on July 5, but all of SprintPCS Customer
Service was closed.

You seem cross - I'm not sure I understand. What did I say (or imply)
about minute usage on the 5th?

OK- they were closed. Maybe you could shed some light on something- what
perks, discounts, billing adjustments or credits does your employer give its
customers on the days it declares a holiday? If the answer is none, then
they are less customer-friendly than Sprint.

And as much as you scream for government regulation in this forum, it made
me think- I didn't get any kind of special 'holiday rate' on my electricity,
water, trash pickup, cable, internet access or landline yesterday. Care to
explain the difference?

I wrote about July 5, where Sprint closed up Customer Service.

Hey - the minutes you are talking about are NIGHTS and WEEKENDS
minutes. Where does it indicate HOLIDAYS in that?

Moron.

Bingo, thats the point. Other carrier's take Holidays, and treat them as
nights and weekends.

SprintPCS takes Holidays, closes shop (Customer Service was closed
Monday July 5), but treats all daytime minutes as Prime Time, where
other carriers would treat it as a Holiday for customers AND employees.

And others don't- Sprint was not the only one.

And others didn't.

What discount did your employer give its customers over the holiday?

July 5th isn't a holiday. I just had this EXACT same discussion in the
Verizon newsgroup where it was argued that it is an OBSERVED holiday. I'd
say yes, it is, if it's observed every year. (Which obviously it isn't. :)

Martin Luther King's birthday and President's Day are two examples of observed
holidays that are actually observed consistently every year. July 5th is not.

You accuse someone else of providing drivel? In this group? You are the
undisputed drivel champion in this forum.

Who cares? At least he speaks the truth, unlike someone else who has used
113 known different IDs here ...

So, that is other carriers. Sprint does not do that and has not done
that in quite a long time. If you don't like it, jump ship. As it
turns out, it is not of apparent prime importance to the majority of
customers, especially since it is spelled out clearly in the agreements
you sign ... from day 1.

Oh, but SPCS has NEVER indicated they offer time used on HOLIDAYS on
their Nights and Weekends time pool. Get over it already.

I'd call you a moron again, but now I see that by doing it I would
actually being insulting morons.
