Truth about 1p/sec Telecom Billing.

There is a large scale fan fareabout 1p/sec billing which was initiated by Tata Docomo.
and it was bleated about the best thing that could ever happen.Now other mobile operators have also followed the suite.Maybe such a tariff did do a lot about price cuts in Telecom.People are of the belief that 1p/sec billing is more economic than Minute billing particularly 50p/min which is 50p/60secs.

1p/sec cannot be lesser for a call for which duration is above 249 secs ie 4 mins and 9 secs while 250 secs it is break even and further 50p/min is Better!

Thus for a call duration above 250 secs it is a Loss

Calls are profitable when duration is below 50secs
calls are profitable when duration is below 1min40secs and above 1min
calls are profitable when duration is below 2mins30secs and above 2mins
calls are profitable when duration is below 3mins20secs and above 3mins
calls are profitable when duration is below 4mins10secs and above 4mins
While for calls below 4 mins it can be profitable only if call duration is below 3mins and 19 secs

While for calls below 3 mins it can be profitable only if call duration is below 2mins and 29 secs

While for calls below 2 mins it can be profitable only if call duration is below 1mins and 39 secs

While for calls below 1 min it can be profitable only if call duration is below 49secs

While it is break even at 250 secs(between 4 mins and 5 mins), 200 secs(between 3 mins and 4 mins), 150 secs(between 2 mins and 3 mins), 100 secs(between 1min and 2mins), 50 secs(within a minute) i.e between every minute there is a point when
it is break even and then it turns to loss for sometime until the pulse changes.


Loss for call durations above 4mins and 10 secs ie 250secs
Loss for call durations below 3mins59sec and above 3mins20secs
Loss for call durations below 3mins and above 2mins31secs
Loss for call durations below 2mins and above 1min40secs
Loss for call durations below 1min and above 50 secs


it would be difficult to understand the whole calculation above and difficult to remember then so remember this "Do not use 1p/sec for calls above 4mins and 10 secs it will be a loss."

1p/2sec and 1p/6sec are also in tariff these days while premium players are offering 1.x p/sec
