T-Mobile Sweetens Its Weekend Minutes Pot

As many of you know, November 24th marks the first day that Federal Cellular Number Portability rules go into effect. This means that you will be able to change cell phone providers and keep your cell phone number. While, many of the cell phone companies hate the idea, it appears that it is already starting to spur a new round of competition in the space, and that will be good for consumers. In this article from WirelessWeek.com we learn that T-Mobile is promoting a new "unlimited weekend" plan where the weekend starts on Friday instead of Saturday.

What will be music to some callers' ears, T-Mobile USA Inc. is declaring that the weekend officially starts on Thursday night by expanding its unlimited weekend calling plan. The carrier is now offering subscribers an unlimited weekend calling plan that kicks off on just after midnight on Thursday, virtually turning the weekend into a three-day event, T-Mobile spokesman Bryan Zidar says. Typically, unlimited weekend calling plans run from 12:01 a.m. Saturday to 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
