• The per six-second prices are rounded up to the nearest cent for convenience, so the price actually charged may be slightly less than those actually shown.
• The price of any call is rounded up to the nearest cent.

WorldNet Off-Net and Off-net Calls

WorldNet off-net and Off-net Calls are charged at 8% less than the International Call rates applicable at the time (see section 2.5.1). The conditions applying to ordinary International Telephone Calls apply to WorldNet off-net and Off-net calls. If a WorldNet customer already has a Telecom MDA agreement or other discount plan giving greater savings, this will apply instead of the 8% discount applying to WorldNet Off Net and Off-Net Charges.

• Alteration charge per site, for changes to extension numbers: $20.00

Note:
This charge covers alteration, addition or removal of numbers from a customer’s dialling plan after the initial configuration.
