I hope that they can be the only one network with this system for a long time... |
yes, totally shocking. reminds me of some landline providers who charge 5 minute increments here. totally useless in my opinion. |
Hey, not quite! Billing increments are not so important by themselves. Only increment/minute rate combination really matters. You don't like telesim because you would have to pay the multiple of 40.5 cents for any call. But if the rate were 1 cents/min even 10 minute increments wouldn't be that bad. OTOH even 1 second increments with very high rates may not be so good, e.g. calls to satphones in Hop cost $6/min what means as much as $0.10/sec.
I think that the honest solution is only when each increment cost the lowest (or at most the next one) nominal of the currency of the billing.
