Toll Free Rate
Toll free rates are availible nationwide and it is free to call toll free numbers from a landline.
You will however be charged a higher rate on the phone card. Note that toll free numbers are not always free from a cell phone.
Payphone Rate
The third phone card rate is the payphone rate this is charged when calling FROM a payphone and is usually higher
than the calling card's toll free rate. Note that phone cards usually have a payphone rate or charge a payphone
fee not both. If there is no payphone rate the local or toll free rate per minute is charged accordingly.
Connection Fee
The phone card connection fee is charged to the calling card's balance every time a call is made.
Maintenance Fee
The phone card maintenance fee is charged to the calling card after the first call is made
and then is repeated according to the given time period (monthly, weekly, daily etc).
All the calling cards on this site charge the maintenance fee (if there is one) to
the phone card's balance if funds are availible however some phone card sites charge
the maintenance fee to the users bank account whether the card is used or not.
Payphone Fee
The phone card payphone fee is charged to the calling card's balance every time a
call is made from a payphone. Note that phone cards usually have a payphone rate or charge a payphone
fee not both.
Rounding
The phone card's calling time is rounded up to a given unit of time then
the calling card is charged for this time. Note that
Time Dial estimates rounding costs in the the total cost calculation by
assuming that on average the the call will be rounded up by half of the
rounding period. For a card with 2 minute rounding the average rounding
is assumed to be 1 minute.
Expires
Some phone cards have an expiry date. If the expiry date shows as never expiring please note that
sometimes you still have to recharge every six months or so to keep cards active.
Taxes
Taxes sometimes exist on phone cards which are charged as a percentage
of the call cost. The connection fee etc is not included in the calculation,
taxes are just charged on the rate multiplied by calling time.
