But Verizon doesn't currently offer 8 PM nights. You must be on a grandfathered
plan.

Or they just don't care. My wife and I could pay for 7pm nights if we wanted
to, but we don't make enough calls between 7pm and 9pm for it to be worth the
extra $5 per month per line we'd be paying.

> You sound as if you like the 9pm nights feature. How weird !!!

It doesn't affect her. She is on an older plan with 8pm nights.
