How does the pay-per-minute charge work exactly? (example)

Written by Edy

Technically, once the PPM (Pay-Per-Minute) call is initialized, the member is charged immediately with the model’s set price per minute.

After the initial charge, billing continues every 60 seconds.

How the calculation works

The system rounds the call duration up to the next full minute. Here are some examples:

Important note

For VIP Silver, Gold, and Platinum members, the first charge starts after 59 seconds instead of immediately.
