Question about VZW unlimited nights/weekend

[rocadelpunk]

Went over the 700min limit (first time ever) and it's .45cents a min now. Whoops.

The vast majority of the minutes are to a person multiple states away (as I'm in Ohio on vacation versus Arizona) and on a different network.

Looking at the details on vzw webpage it says nighttime minutes start at 9:01pm and go to like 5 am or something like that. In my usage stats several of those long calls were in the nighttime period according to those hours, so why don't they show up as free nighttime minutes?

Between me as the main line and 3 family members

we have 612 peak, 519 off peak, 53 m2m peak, 0 m2m off peak and 0 weekend

latest update is that I'm at 728/700 on 700 nationwide unlimited night/weekend plan

People go to Ohio on vacation?

Summer off & Ohio is family/friends.

Back in the day it used to be based on when your call STARTED, I'm not sure if it still works that way.

So if you started the call at 8:59pm and went to 9:30pm, the whole call is daytime minutes.

I've been out of the VZN loop (and heck, cell phone plans loop) for a long, long time now.

I believe you can call and change your plan before your cycle ends. If you call and change to a plan that gives you more minutes, you won't get nailed on overage fees.

Worked at VZW a couple years ago, so I may be a bit foggy. Give them a call.

 

[rocadelpunk]

Yeah, I'm aware of changing the plan and I'll probably end up doing that. I also checked the time they have the calls starting and there were at a least couple calls that added up to 150minutes, one started at 9:30pm and another at 11:45pm according to their website.

I'll go into a store tomorrow, I just didn't know if it was something obvious like different networks or I'm being screwed.

Thanks for suggestions.

is it for the CURRENT time zone or you normal time zone (where your account is)

 

[RockinZ28]

Do timezones come into play? Does offpeak start at 9pm where you're at, or where your phone is from?

Edit. ^ Beat me, damn tablet.

Well my phone # is an Ohio based phone number and I'm currently in Ohio, the number calling me is an Arizona based one. Verizon's usage details lists one of my calls as 11:53 pm (which is when I received the call). If I were in AZ it would have been 8:53 pm

call and ask them what is up.

 

[rocadelpunk]

Turns out even though the website says "updated" at certain time the numbers are nowhere near what they have on their server when you call them up.

With ATT, changing your plan resulted in you extending your contract too so be careful.

 

[Krynj]

You can change your VZW plan at any time and it doesn't extend your contract.
