Call times and charging bands

All Calls are charged for a minimum of 1 minute. Calls longer than a minute are rounded up to the nearest 30 seconds.

All Calls are subject to a maximum time of 120 minutes after which they will be cut off.

Days are broken down into three specific bands; charges can vary depending on when a call is made.

Broadband Phone call charges are calculated from midnight on your billing date until 23:59:59 on the day before your next billing date.

Calls may begin in one charging band and run into another charging band. If this happens each portion of the call is charged at the applicable rate.

An itemised call list is available on the Broadband Phone Control Panel.

Broadband Usage

Broadband Phone calls count as data transfer and are included in your monthly usage total.

A typical Broadband Phone call lasting 1 hour would use, on average, 70 to 80 MB (0.07-0.08GB) of data transfer.
