Yes, I understand that.  If you see my first comment I said that my one call lasted 2 min and 55 seconds which rounded up should cost me 30 cents and not the 40 cents I was charged.  That is rounding up  and then some.  Do you realize how much money is made if you overcharge each phone call a go phone user makes by a minimum of 10 cents per call?



Here's the math:

 

Call Time for Billing Purpose = RoundUp ( Time from SEND to pickup + Call Timer Value from Call Log in the Phone)

 

Assume that the time from SEND to pickup = 15 seconds

 

Call Time for Billing Purpose  = RoundUp (15 sec + 2 minutes 55 sec) = RoundUp (3 minutes 10 sec) = 4 minutes.

 

Cost to you = 4 minutes @ $0.10 = $0.40

 

I can be wrong. If so, anyone can correct me.
