This is what you need to know when you buy calling cards:
Connection Fee
Connection fee or first minute surcharge is charged when a call is
connected. The charge varies between different service providers. If you
make few long duration calls this charge is usually insignificant, but if
you make frequent short duration calls you should look for a card with low
or no connection fee.
Maintenance Fee
The maintenance fee is charged on weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis, after
the first use. If you intend to buy a card and use it in short time
this charge is not significant, but if you intend to make few calls and keep
your card for a long time you should choose a low maintenance fee card or
no-maintenance fee card.
Minutes Rounding
Minutes rounding is the basic unit to record the length of the phone call.
This varies between service providers and products. Cards may come with 1
second, 30 second or even 3 or 6 minute rounding. You should keep attention
to phone card minutes rounding so you buy a card that fits you calling
patterns. |
