1. A method for determining use conditions in a wireless device, the method comprising:
- inputting on the wireless device rate plan parameters associated with a subscriber to a wireless service provider for the wireless device, the rate plan parameters including data associated with one or more peak time charges,comparing the inputted rate plan parameters with present temporal parameters,determining, on the wireless device, if the one or more peak time charges are in effect based on the comparison, andgenerating an indication on the wireless device that the one or more peak time charges are in effect based on the determination.

Abstract
A method and apparatus allow use condition determination in a wireless device. A wireless interface is coupled to a processor configured to input subscriber rate plan parameters associated with a service provider. Rate plan parameters include data associated with peak time charges. Rate plan parameters are compared with current parameters to determine if peak time charges are in effect. An indication that the peak time charges are in effect is then generated.
