What is a minimum call length requirement?
Minimum call length refers to least amount of time (seconds or minutes) that a call must last with a specific long distance plan. Example: If a customer makes a call that lasts one minute but his/her plan has a minimum call length of five minutes, he/she will be billed for a five-minute call despite the fact that the call was, in reality, only one minute long. Calling card providers and dial-around providers often utilize this type of requirement. And some, but not all, traditional long distance plans have minimum call length requirements. Be sure to thoroughly read over the terms and conditions of any long distance plan before signing up.
