Call Cost
If a match is found then the cost is calculated as follows:
- Total Cost = Initial Cost + Billable Unit Number * Rate (less than one billable unit will be regarded as one billable unit)
- If the talking time is less than the “Initial Time”, the Total Cost = Initial Cost.
Below is an example billing rate setting, please check call cost details for different calls.
- Initial Time: 120 seconds
- Initial Cost: 0.2$
- Rate: 0.3$
- Billable Unit: 60 seconds
Talk Time (s) | Total Cost ($) | Call Cost Details |
---|---|---|
68 | 0.2 |
Talk Time(68) < Initial Time(120) Total Cost = Initial Cost |
125 | 0.5 |
Talk Time: 125=120+5 Total Cost: 0.2+0.3*1=0.5 |
180 | 0.5 |
Talk Time: 180=120+60*1 Total Cost: 0.2+0.3*1=0.5 |
190 | 0.8 |
Talk Time: 190=120+60*1+10 Total Cost: 0.2+0.3*2=0.8 |
380 | 1.7 |
Talk Time: 380=120+4*60+20 Total Cost: 0.2+0.3*5=1.7 |
