What is a “connection fee”?
A connection fee is a charge that many phone companies charge their users. This fee is a fixed amount that is charged each time you make a phone call. We offer a variety of phone cards, some with connection fees and some without, to best meet your calling needs. Our company will not charge you a connection fee unless you specifically choose a plan with such a fee because it benefits you the most due to your calling patterns.
A connection fee is the additional fee imposed by the Telephone Company every time you use your phonecard to make a call. (You will not get charged for a connection fee if the call does not connect, the other party does not pick up the phone, or you get a busy signal.) The amount of the connection fee varies with each phonecard. To check to see if a phonecard has a connection fee please refer to the phonecard’s detailed information page.
A connection fees is charged on each call made and is collected by reducing the number of minutes left on a phonecard. Phonecards with high connection fees are referred to as “long call” cards. They work to the advantage of a user who talks for long periods of time, if not the entire phonecard at one time. Phonecards that have a small connection fee or no connection fee are called “short call” cards. These phonecards should be used for that purpose. Please check detail information on our website for the cards you are interested.
