Phone Words Per Minute

Is there a per-minute rate for phone words? No separate word rate is published — word pricing is monthly from $40, and call rates come from the base plan row.

There is no separate per-minute rate for phone words on the published record. A Phoneword carries two distinct prices, and confusing them is the common mistake: the word price is monthly, from $40 per month, set by the word's availability and desirability; the call rates are whatever the published plan table lists for the underlying number.

How the two prices work

  • The word price: Phoneword pricing starts from $40 per month. No rate card per word is published here — the team confirms the exact word and price before connection, and this page does not quote ranges.
  • The call rates: a Phoneword uses a 13, 1300 or 1800 number, and the published per-minute rates sit on the pricing page as plan rows — per minute, calculated on a per-second basis, with Cap-plan allowances applying first. No separate word-specific per-minute rate is published.

What that means in practice

Two words of the same length on the same base do not publish different call rates on this record — the difference between words is the monthly word price, not the per-minute charge. What any specific arrangement costs in total is not calculated on this page; the plan tables and the team's confirmation are the sources.
