Rates to Pakistan 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 Pakistan, the rate is the same whichever callmins number you call from: $0.084 a minute to landlines and $0.074 to mobiles.

What a call to Pakistan costs

Worked out at the highest rate, so your call costs this or less.

5 minutes$0.42$0.37
10 minutes$0.84$0.74
30 minutes$2.53$2.22
60 minutes$5.07$4.44

For comparison, check the international rate card of your mobile network or landline provider. Pay-as-you-go international calls on a phone plan are usually billed per minute at well above wholesale, and many plans need an international add-on first. A $5 callmins top-up buys about 67 minutes to a mobile in Pakistan.
