In the U.S., off-peak hours are between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays. In some other countries, off-peak hours are between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. These times are when phone call volume is lower, and therefore rates are cheaper. Off-peak hours also include Saturdays and Sundays. Keep in mind, though, that in some countries, the weekend rates are not the same as weekday evening rates; however, both rates will always be less than the regular rate. Another thing to note is that most long-distance providers in the United States charge their customers a flat rate regardless of the time of day or the day of the week.
