IN-Calling Peak & Off-Peak??

Now that I've switched to the Digital Choice 600 plan, its kinda odd how they break down my minutes used now. Its now:

Peak Minutes
Off-Peak Minutes
Weekend Minutes
IN Calling Peak
IN Calling Off-Peak

Its obvious why they break down the non-IN calling that way (free nights and weekends), but why is the IN-calling broken down into peak and off-peak? Isn't the IN simply unlimited, period? Or are there plans to change that for some plans?

With your plan, IN-calling is unlimited, and off-peak is unlimited, so the distinction is meaningless.

But there are still some folks out there who have plans with a limited quanitity of mobile-to-mobile minutes, and a limited quanitity of N&W minutes.

For example, some people still have plans with 1000 mobile-to-mobile and 4000 N&W minutes.

The number shrinks every day, but some folks simply don't want to change their plan to the new promotions, because they don't feel the need, and they don't want a new contractual obligation.

This is the arcane, technical part that will put you to sleep unless you're a real geek.

If your plan has a limited quantity of off-peak minutes and a limited quantity of MTM minutes, how do your "rat...

Yes, there are some of us who refuse to change pricing plans, and I'm one. I've been offered the opportunity to change my pricing plan numerous times. Each time, the CSR tells me that if I upgrade my pricing plan, I'll gain 100 extra minutes of peak air time. Here's the catch, I must give up 60 minutes per day to get it. Here's why....

Each pricing plan clearly spells out the peak vs. off peak hours for billing. Under my old plan my peak hours are from 6am to 8pm, but if I change plans, peak hours will be from either 6am to 9pm. I lose an hour per day of my unlimited off peak hours, or 1,200 free minutes in order to gain 100. (1200= 60 minutes per day X 5 days per week X 4 weeks per month).

I don't know about you, but in my world of ma...
