Rates to French Polynesia by caller ID
Carriers price a call partly by the number it comes from, so the rate depends on which callmins number you show as caller ID. The headline price above is the highest of these, so it never understates what you'll pay.
For French Polynesia, the rate is the same whichever callmins number you call from: $0.51 a minute to landlines and $0.51 to mobiles.
What a call to French Polynesia costs
