Night & Weekends
Does anyone know if they will release a 7pm early start for night and weekends, We just left Att for verizon but are getting killed with the 9pm time...

They have to plan for the contingincies before they implent. What sammy2 said was right, each carrier has to make those decisions on what they can offer as a company. VZW is focussing on giving you the best network & on the backend trying to figure out ways to cut cost down ...
