    My night time minutes starts at 9:00pm. If a call starts at
    8:59pm and lasts 10 minutes, would that be 10 anytime minutes, or
    1 anytime minute and 9 nighttime minutes?

    In my experience, that is 10 anytime minutes.

    The rate is constant through the call for the tie at which the call was
    placed. So, in your example, it is 10 anytime minutes. Conversely, if you
    place a call at 6:59a.m. and it lasts 10 minutes, that is all taken from
    nighttime minutes.

    At one time, that call would all be counted as anytime minutes.

    I don't know where things stand today. I presume the worst, and don't
    make calls if it's getting toward 9:00. I wait until 9:05, just to be
    safe, if I'm going to make a call that late.

    I have seen calls that started before 9pm cut into two
    different lines in the "my minutes" section of
    Mycingular.com some DT some NW minutes, so
    I think they do split the call. In my experience.

    If you are currently a cingular customer,
    it would be easier to check Mycingular.com
    than to wait for shaky information and guesses
    on the newsgroup, ya think?

    The entire call is "billed" at the start time.

    So, it all comes from your anytime minutes. However, if you make a call at
    6:59am and talk for an hour, there are no minutes that come off.

    SprintPCS counts the whole call based on when it starts.

    So does Verizon and AT&T. I am pretty sure T-Mobile does so as well.

    That is also Cingular's "policy", but the practice may be different.

    Isn't this all computer controlled? How could the practice be variable?

    Could be different scripts in different regions. I do know here in my region
    it is done like mentioned earlier. Minutes are all pulled from the bucket
    from which they began

    All the carriers that I have service with do. That includes Sprint PCS, AT&T
    WS, Cingular, and T-Mobile.

    All North American operators use send-to-end billing. At one time
    Fido used exact billing and didn't bill til the line answered. They
    stopped that about two years ago.
