Calling card companies can sometime offer a lower per minute published rate
than the above price because they usually make their money on the following:
-
on the time you aren't able to use on the card (the "last minute" lost syndrome)
-
on high full minute billing increments (the time you pay for but don't
use on the last minute of your call)
-
on high minimum connection times (1-3 minutes)
-
on lost or misplaced cards
-
on connect fees each time you make a
call
-
on high pay phone connect fees
-
on short card expiration times, e.g., 60-90 days, some even 30 days
-
on monthly (sometimes weekly) "maintenance" fees
-
on a combination of these items
This is NOT a calling card offer -- it is a direct connection service
for domestic and international calls dialed directly from your own telephone.
Both the domestic (USA) and international rates are billed in 6 second billing
increments.
