Detailed International Call Rates to USA/Canada
Under the Easy Phone Tariff, calls to the USA and Canada are charged based on two primary methods: a per-minute rate or a per-pulse rate.
- Per-Minute Tariff: This is a straightforward charge where you pay for each minute (or part thereof) your call lasts.
- Per-Pulse Tariff: This method breaks down billing into smaller units, known as "pulses." For calls to the USA/Canada, one minute is equivalent to four pulses. This means each pulse represents a 15-second duration of your call.
Here's a breakdown of the rates:
| Country | Per Minute Tariff (Rs.) | Per Pulse Rate (Rs.) |
|---|---|---|
| USA / Canada | Rs. 1.5 | Rs. 0.375 |
This billing structure allows for flexibility. For shorter calls, the pulse rate might offer more granular billing, ensuring you only pay for the exact duration of your conversation in 15-second increments. For longer calls, the per-minute rate simplifies cost calculation.
