What this costs, and how to compare quotes

What this category is

Quoted per-minute prices in this market range from roughly ₹2 to over ₹10, and the spread is mostly about what the number includes rather than quality. Any quote separates into four lines: platform fee, usage, telephony carriage, and setup. Two quotes are not comparable until both have been split that way.

Who should care

• Anyone holding two quotes that appear to differ by three times.
• Businesses working out whether the loss they are trying to fix is bigger than the fix.
• Anyone who has been quoted a per-minute rate with no mention of telephony.
