English translation:billing increments
Explanation:
Billing increment refers to the amount of seconds that calls on a long distance phone call are rounded up to. For example, many plans have a 6-second billing increment--after the first 18 seconds (a common minimum call length).

Thus, a 10-second call would round up to the minimum call length of 18 seconds. A 20-second call would round up to the nearest 6 second total, which would be 24.

Quite a number of calling plans can have billing increments of whole minutes. Check your most recent phone bill to determine what size billing increments come with your current long distance plan.
