|---|---|---|
| A callmins US number | $0.066/min | $0.78/min |
| A callmins UK number | $0.042/min | $1.13/min |

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 4 minutes to a mobile in Switzerland.
