Quote:
Calls are charged ?per minute? for calls lasting up to and including 2 minutes. Calls that last above 2 and up to 6 minutes will be charged ?per two minute? increment.

A 10 pence maintenance charge will be levied daily following first use of the card.
A post call fee will be levied and is dependent on the duration of the call; the call fee will be a maximum of 7% of the total call charge.
A connection fee is applicable for all calls made using this card. The connection fee levied is dependent on the destination called, the time at which the call is made, the length of the call and the access number used. The maximum connection charge is 18 pence.
