An apologist lamely trying to coverup for Sprint.

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.

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.

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?

Duh - Easter ALWAYS falls on a Sunday.

Why is my birthday not a Holiday? It is at my house. I think I will
complain. Sprint sucks. They should give all holidays free,
including Christian, Muslem, etc. Maybe all days should be free.
hehehe.

Just replying to a sarcastic message with equal sarcasm.

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.

You're a perfect example of what I was talking about.

Indeed. The next round of such posts is a mere five weeks away!

Then I assume, because having holidays count as off peak obviously means
so much to you that you must whine about Sprint's not doing it every
time a major holiday like Memorial Day comes around, that you must have
switched to either Verizon or AT&T already.

If you haven't switched, then why not?

Well, considering I was answering the following post from you, which
wasn't directed at me in the first place:
<<Out of curiosity, which carriers and which holidays? Or can't you tell
us? >>

I thought listing the holidays other carriers offered would have
answered your question. I o't give two craps if Sprint has holiday
airtime or not. I wasn't whining... just answering your own question.

BUT , it will give him something to complain about so as far as he's
concerned it evens out.
