Every time, connecting to the next mobile operator or changing the number, the client is faced with the problem of choosing a tariff. This is quite reasonable since no one wants to pay more.
Don't think of seconds down
Recently, almost all mobile operators offer tariffs with per second billing. But for some reason, the results are different for everyone. Obviously, it is worthwhile to figure out what per-second billing is, and what is the difference between its understanding of different operators.
It is quite clear that free cheese is only in a mousetrap, that is, the operator seeks to get as much as possible for the services provided. That is why it offers the bewildered subscriber a lot of tariffs. The aim of such a wide offer is clear and simple.
If you carefully calculate absolutely all tariffs and prices, taking into account the average call duration and frequency of calls, it turns out that there is no difference between the tariffs, or it is vanishingly small.
Thus, none of the mobile operators wants to lose a cent of their profits, while at the same time they strive to attract more and more new customers. Creating the illusion of choice, mobile operators are primarily concerned with their own well-being.
So, tariffication. The most common and oldest, if I may say so, is the per-minute tariffication. With her, everything is simple. The subscriber spoke for two minutes - paid for two minutes. He spoke for two minutes and twenty-seven seconds - he paid for three minutes. Everything seems to be clear and transparent. But as soon as the conversation turns to per-second billing, such oddities begin that one has only to admire the possibilities of the Russian language. Anyone perceives per-second billing as payment for every second of a call, but for mobile operators, not everything is so clear and obvious.
Every moment has its own reason
When signing a contract with a mobile operator, most customers almost never read endless text printed in small print, and it is in it that so many interesting things are hidden.
By claiming per-second billing, which means paying for each second of a call separately, most operators are at least disingenuous. The following phrase is often encountered: “After the first minute of the conversation, the tariffication is per second”. If this is true, then, as a rule, the first minute of the conversation costs at least two, with a different tariff plan.
But that's not all. The following phrase is often encountered: “Tariffication is per second. The first second of each individual minute of conversation is charged in the amount of the specified cost of the minute, seconds from the second to the sixtieth are not charged. Thus, each first second after the next minute of conversation is estimated at the cost of a minute. But from the second second to the sixtieth one can speak as if free of charge. But this is frankly per-minute billing! Indeed, with per-second billing, the real connection time should be taken into account without additional tricks like the second or third minute. It should be borne in mind that, unlike some people who like to talk, the bulk of calls last less than one minute.
