Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / November 2003Thanksgiving is not a Holiday : SprintPCS
In contrast to every other cellular carrier where major holidays count as weekend minutes, with Sprint, every weekday is "Peak Minutes". Just dial *2 and say "Holiday Minutes" to Claire, and she'll be happy to inform you that Thanksgiving day is peak minutes. You'll notice that every carrier uses the terms "Weekday" and "Weekend", not peak and off-peak. Where did you get the idea that Thanksgiving THURSDAY is a weekend day? If the plans still refered to off-peak minutes like they did several years ago, then fine, holidays were considered off-peak. Times and plans have changed. You've lost holiday minutes, but instead of paying $30 for 90 peak minutes, you get 300 weekday minutes. It's more than a fair trade. And since you mentioned every other carrier, here's the list: Verizon Cingular AT&T T-Mobile Nextel How many of them have holiday minutes? > In contrast to every other cellular carrier where major holidays count as > weekend minutes, with Sprint, every weekday is "Peak Minutes".

I hit 1 for english and then it asks for my pcs number...at which time it tells me to dial the customer service number provided by my carrier....Then Activation Failed. Something seems amiss. Hopefully I can still make calls...lol They could have just said that the monkeys have the day off..... same thing happens to me regardless of wether i dial *2 or 611, i thought it was something wrong wit my phone... a couple times i did go through to cs directly and say they were closed due to observance of the holiday and will re-open at 7 am tomorrow...glad to know that it's not just me going nuts !!! > Tried that.

Yup, dslfoo assumes facts not in evidence, haven't seen any carrier that differentiates for holidays. He/she sure is a whiny li'l biatch, isn't she? > > In contrast to every other cellular carrier where major holidays count as > > weekend minutes, with Sprint, every weekday is "Peak Minutes".

Actually Verizon did, at least until very recently, call Thanksgiving a holiday and it applies to night and weekend minutes. Still, this is not new news and is available in all the literature when you sign up for service.

You have to ask Claire because there is no one there on the holidays to explain to you why an error occured and you can't send your messages like you should be able to. >> In contrast to every other cellular carrier where major holidays count >> as weekend minutes, with Sprint, every weekday is "Peak Minutes".

It's been that way, and it's clearly described in the definition of what constitutes "night and weekend" minutes. If it bothers you that much, perhaps you should switch carriers. To most of the rest of us, it's just not that big a deal.

He is just trying to stir up trouble as usual. This has been in the literature this way for a long time and it is there to see when you start service.

Trying to stir up trouble again? Tom Veldhouse |
