    Default Re: Reseller charges?

    Call Scenario:

    Incoming call from [DOMESTIC UNITED STATES] to a [TOLLFREE] phone number - $0.025/minute

    Now lets say you have this [TOLLFREE] phone number forwarded to an [OUTBOUND PHONE NUMBER / DESTINATION] i.e. your cell phone - $0.01/minute

    (total rate per minute = $0.035/minute)

    There are two charges involved here.

    The first charge is for the INCOMING minute usage

    The second charge is for the OUTGOING minute usage.

    So these charges can be combined to present the overall per minute rate.

    So simply put -- your call rate per minute is determined by the type of call legs involved (there are always two LEGS of a call) -- I think the confusion for you is that you are thinking that the call only is billed for a flat rate depending on the originating type.

    Just to further give you some call leg examples to help understand:

    Incoming SIP + Outgoing SIP

    Incoming SIP + Outgoing PSTN (Publicly Switced Telephone Network)

    Incoming PSTN + Outgoing SIP

    Incoming PSTN + Outgoing PSTN

    Starting to come together how there are always two legs of a call? To determine the overall per minute rate you simply add each leg together to get the actual per minute pricing.

    I hope this clears some of the confusion.

    Thanks!
