For this site I was doing some research on the costs of calling 1850 and 1890 numbers from mobiles and different landline providers. One thing that came across that was vaguely interesting was the hours that companies deem to be peak and off-peak.

All the mobile companies, except 3 Mobile, treat the hours from 08:00 to 18:00 as being their peak time. As far as I can tell, the 3 Mobile company don’t distinguish between peak and off peak at all.

In theory, if it’s the case (the call cost information in general on the 3 Mobile site is pretty sketchy), this could possibly be a good a thing - depending on the call cost per minute you’re charged all the time. But on the basis that if things seem too good to be true, they probably are, and given past experience with 3 Mobile, I’d be a bit wary.
