[comp.dcom.telecom] Charging for international phone calls

dias@iris.ucdavis.edu (Gihan Dias) (01/28/89)

I have a question regarding how charges for international calls spanning
multiple rate periods are computed. Are the number of minutes in each period
charged at the appropriate rate, as domestic calls are, or is the whole call
chared at the rate corresponding to the beginning of the call?

for example, if the economy period extends upto 6.00 pm, followed by the
standard rate period, How would I be charged for a 10 minute call starting at
5.56?

Does anybody know if the charge computation is performed in different ways by
different L.D. carriers, in particular, AT&T and MCI, or for different
destination countries?

Thanks,
