What are the billing increments on domestic 1+ calls?
TOTAL CALL bills in 6-second increments after the first 18-seconds (18/6) for domestic calls with the 48 states (international and offshore calls are billed in FULL-MINUTE INCREMENTS!). Most long distance providers bill in one-minute increments. If your call last 2 minutes, you get billed for 2 minutes. However, if your call lasts for 2 minutes and 1 second, most providers will round up the call and bill you for 3 minutes. 6-second billing is a more precise than full-minute billing, and saves you money! For that same 2 minute and 1-second call, you would get billed for 2.1 minutes instead of 3 minutes! With 6-second billing, you will save an average of 3 to 5% per call based upon the call length over full-minute billing.
