🙂 Most likely, depending on what plan you're on, that if you start a call before 9:01pm and end the call after 9:01pm that it would be considered a Night/weekend feature minute and would apply the full usage to your off peak allowance. Now some of the features divide it up so that the minutes you used during the peak hours go against the peak allowance, and the minutes that you used in the off peak would go to your off peak allowance. To be sure I suggest calling into customer service between the hours of 7:00am-11:00pm.(these are our hours on the east coast) 1-800-922-0204, or 611 from your VZW handset 😁

I'm not affiliated w/Verizon, but I will tell you your entire call will be charged to your monthly home airtime minutes unless that call occured on a Saturday or Sunday.
Even regular telephone companies charge that way. It based upon the start time of the call & billed at that rate for the entire call.
Hang up & callback after 9pm & you'll be on your night minutes.

Thought this might answer the quick question. The following is from Verizon's customer agreement:


How We Calculate Your Bill
Your bill reflects the fees and charges in effect under your calling plan at the time they're incurred. You can dispute your bill, but only within 90 days of receiving it. You must still pay any disputed charges until the dispute is resolved. Usage charges may vary by location based on where your wireless phone is when the call starts. If a charge depends on an amount of time used, we'll round up any fraction of a minute to the next full minute unless your calling plan says otherwise. Time starts when...

You did your reasearch canddmeyer, however the answer to bigj's question is this, let's say you make a call on Monday at 8:30pm and it ends at 10:00pm, Verizon Wireless will charge you as follows, from 8:30pm to 9:00pm will be charged peak minutes, and from 9:01pm to 10:00pm it would be off-peak. VZW terms it as a span rate........

It is a peak time call. The airtime applies from the time you start the call and does not transition mid if you are still in the call and change rate periods. The same is true in the morning if you star a call at 5:30am and talk until 9:00 am it will all be considered an off peak call.

First I would like to apologize for the run about.

Here is the correct answer;

If you look on your bill ( which I would like you to do just to prove how right I am) you will see the call split into 2 calls; one from 8:30-9:00 labled as peak and the other from 9:01-10:00 labled as off peak. You will see an asterik indicating the call was split. For example you will see 8:30-9:00*.

I don't post much anymore, but I assure you that I'm a west area (L.A. included) pro.

Thank you to the last two posters on this subject for clearing up the peak/non-peak billing question from "bigj".
This would make my prior response WRONG. Just the same, make sure your wireless company spans the rate from peak to non-peak hours, or you'll probably have regrets.
I also saw a post on another website matching the comments of "schnozejt" & "The_Master". For once its nice to see things go a consumers way for a change.
