Does anyone know how the free minutes in the call plans are deducted?
eg. I have 60 mins free calls. If I made a 15secs call, what is the balance remaining? (a) 60mins - 15secs or (b) 60mins - 30secs(call block) |

I can't find anywhere in any telco's TnC that states free minutes are deducted by blocks.I know that call charges are calculated by call blocks and that is stated clearly everywhere. Anyone in the know can confirm call blocks apply to free minutes as well? |

If it says for each 1 minute call or part thereof, 1 unit will be deducted, then I agree with you that it deduct following call blocks.Point 1d in https://www.xpax.com.my/reload_tnc To me, it indicates a 1minute call block. So, a 5secs call to a voicemail will cut off 1minute block of free calls. Guess we need confirmation from telcos before subscribing to their call plans.
