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?

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

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

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 *****ed out clearly in the agreements
you sign ... from day 1.

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.

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.

I never said they did, but several other carriers do.

- Trolling for responses with bad language, but SprintPCS is still in
the minority by not providing Holidays as Night and weekend minutes.

Your bad language still leaves SprintPCS as the customer unfriendly
outfit that surveys always rate as worst in Customer Service.

Which national carriers in the USA do it?

You failed to answer this last time.

I can answer it partially. Verizon most definitely does it, although
some people in the Verizon newsgroup were told July 5th would be offpeak
because 7/4 was a Sunday, and that turned out not to be the case. But
Christmas, Labor Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving and a couple other holidays
are always billed as weekend airtime by Verizon even when they fall on a
weekday, so if you have free weekends it effectively makes those days
airtime-free (or at least doesn't deduct from your peak bucket; not all
Verizon customers have unlimited nights and weekends).

I *believe* AT&T also does it, but I've never been an AT&T customer, so
don't quote me on that.

July 5th was the designated Federal holiday for most Federal
employees, since July 4 fell on Sunday this year. December 24 and
December 31 are also the day that the Feds (and most state agencies)
will be observing the Christmas and New Year's holidays this year.

I was with AT&T up until I switched to Sprint 2 years ago. During the
7 years I was with them holidays were always included in the "nights
and weekends" block. Can't speak for them today.
