Yes, Friends and Family is still available, but only for certain plans and number of minutes. As for non-peak hour, from 9 p.m. your local time to 6 a.m. Monday thru Friday are free minutes, Then from 9 p.m. Friday, again, your time, to 6 a.m.Monday is your week-end non-peak (free) hours. Holidays do not constitute non-peak hours, so if you call someone on, say Christmas during the day, it costs. Minutes are rounded up, so 1 second constitutes one minute, so doesnt 59 seconds. So a call lasting 12 minutes and 3 seconds equals 13 minutes. Some plans have Verizon to Verizon free calls. Finally, on family plans, let us say you have 3 phones. Phone 1 calls for 132 minutes; phone 2 for 83 minutes and phone 3 for 269 minutes. Since these are shared minutes, the total amount of minutes used for this one family plan is 484 minutes. Oh, I should mention that one single phone pays for BOTH incoming calls AND outgoing calls, Is it possible, but I don't see how, that your wife is on your friend/family free plan, but you are not on your wife's friend/family free plan? If this is the case, your wife is paying for your incoming calls when you call her, and for her outgoing calls when she calls you. Hope this helps a little.
