The last time I looked, yes. There's a $10 monthly "premium" to do
that. And, on their web site, their plans page includes the following
small type at the bottom:

"A two-year Sprint PCS Advantage Agreement is required for Sprint PCS
Fair & FlexibleSMPlans and Nights starting at 7 p.m. A one-year Sprint
PCS Advantage Agreement is required for all other plans. Month-to-month
payment options may be available depending on your plan."

The additional Night&Weekend hours are not possible without a
commitment. However, a "9PM" plan should be available.

Of course, all of this flies out the window if you're in an affiliate
market. Then it could well be something completely different.

We did the $10/month surcharge for a couple months in 2001, while we were
making sure Sprint had the coverage we needed. It's good for situations like
that where you don't want to get hit with a $150 ETF if you cancel.
