Inifniticall Query

[useless]

Just a quick question on infiniticall.

I know it kicks in after 7PM and will activate if you are on for longer than 1h 15mins. Yet do you have to connect just after 7PM or will it kick in if i connect before 7PM?

Ie. I dial in and connect at 18:30 PM, will infiniticall kick in at 19:45PM?

Sorry for the stupid question but i have to know this or else i might get some lekka bills at the end of the month due to my ignorance.

Hi,

I think this is how it works. Consider a single call that straddles peak and offpeak periods. The calculation is done in two portions:

Peak Portion
Any thing outside off peak period is considered by itself. So you will pay peak rate for seconds that fall before 7pm and after 7am (weekdays).

Off peak portion
For any seconds that fall inside the offpeak period, the off peak rate is applied and if the total for this portion is found to be more than the infinicall limit, it is capped to this limit.

What you pay for is the sum of peak and peak portion.

Hope this helps

As far as I understand it will only start it's countdown of minutes from 7pm

If you dial in at 6:30PM you will be billed for those 30 minutes at peak rates until 7PM, after which Callmore time billing starts, and after an hour or so the call is capped at 10 bucks. So seeing a 30 minute peak dial-in costs 12 ront, rather sit back, finish watching Isidingo, and then dial in

lol, I dialled in on a 0860 number and stayed online the whole weekend and also didnt sleep wondering if Infinicall capped 0860 numbers, lol ... but luckily it does apply.

SAIX-based ISP's use the Maxicall numbers which start with 0860, which is basically a local call.. if the 0 is a 1 or higher then its probably a rand per minute number but Infinitcall works for national numbers as well... not that anyone will want to dial into a POP which is more than 1,000km away.. anyone tried that?
