Peak times???

Hiya,

I hope this is the right board :o

Does anybody know what constitutes peak and off peak?

When i purchased my mobile phone (2 years ago ish) I was told off peak was, "weekends, after 7pm untill 7am and bank holidays" is this still right?

As I’m pretty sure Christmas day counts as a bank holiday but my mobile bill seems to think otherwise.

I'm not trying to get out of paying my bill but if there had been a mistake i would like to get it corrected.

Many thanks in advance :D

    apart from maybe orange, bank holidays do not count as off peak(Rip off!) My vodfone off peak tariff is 7pm-8am monday - thursday and 7pm friday - 8am monday.

    No idea how this compares to other networks though

    varies network to network, some count off-peak as after 6 some after 7 and weekends, with regards to bank holidays, ring your providers and ask them
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    Orange certainly count ENGLISH public holidays as off peak. I have an idea that T-Mobile may have done so in the past, but worth checking with them now.

    O2 and Voda certainly charge you full wack on Bank Holidays. I agree it is a rip off, just the same as BT charge you weekday rates on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and NY Day if they fall Monday to Friday.
