Could you explain which calls are local and which are long distance?
All mobile calls are billed airtime, for both incoming and outgoing calls. Airtime is measured in whole minutes - a 10 second, 30 second, or 59 second call will all be billed as a 1 minute call.
Long distance (LD) is determined by the phone's location.
Here are some billing examples:
- A mobile handset in Keewaywin calling a Keewaywin landline: the mobile handset pays airtime only 5¢/min
- A Keewaywin landline calling a mobile handset: mobile handset pays airtime only 5¢/min
- A landline called 1-807-216-xxxx: Landline pays long distance; and the handset pays air time 5¢/min
- A landline called the local gateway: Landline pays nothing; handset pays airtime 5¢/min
- A DMTS mobile handset located in Keewaywin calls Keewaywin: mobile handset pays airtime only
- A Keewaywin mobile handset in Sioux Lookout calling a Keewaywin landline: mobile handset pays airtime and Long Distance - 5¢/min + 10¢/min = 15¢/min
- A Keewaywin handset in Sioux Lookout calling Keewaywin mobile handset: mobile handset pays airtime only 5¢/min
