What counts as a billable minute

Ruby's pricing page doesn't define exactly how a minute is counted.

You pay for time on the line, so long calls cost more than short ones. CallMath multiplies your calls by your average call length.

What it costs at common volumes

Lowest monthly cost from Ruby's plans, starting at $250 a month. Your average call length and coverage change these numbers; run your own.
