But then I did some checking. Currently I am paying about 11 cents a minute for night rate to call anywhere in the USA on Sprint. By going to Sprint Plus, I agreed to $7.50/month minimum billing (not $7.50 extra, just MINIMUM ... so if I make only $1 worth of calls, I still pay $7.50) and the big bonus was that I can get the night rate during the evening after 5pm. I understand from several postings on TELECOM Digest that the new rate gives a straight 20% off the night and evening rates, with night and evening no longer being equal. I checked with the Sprint operator, and to call anywhere in the USA the night rate is 13 cents, and the evening rate is 14 cents. So with 20% off that, I will pay 11.2 cents per minute during the evening, and only 10.4 cents at night. Not bad. How does this compare with similar plans from other carriers?
