When you buy a cell phone you buy a plan with it. You get a certain amount of minutes on your plan. Some plans have 200 minutes some have 1000. Every call you make they round UP the time your on the phone to minutes. So even if your just on it for 5 seconds it counts as a minute. I think that companies shouldnt do that, They should just count a 5 second call as 5 seconds on your bill. This way you actually get the minutes you signed up for. At the end of the month they should just add up all the seconds to see how many of your minutes you actually used.

I't's just not really profitable, or the rates need to go up.
The providers expect a good deal of the customers not to count to the minute, ans soak up the rest of the minute not used as profit. If they cut it down to 5 seconds, the chance for profit is diminished.
Yea, that's some bullshit that they do that.
I gave this a disagree vote not because I don't approve of your opinion, but because it isn't a good idea. The "why not" is obvious. The phone companies want to gouge us whenever possible and they make the rules. An idea that is an obvious non-starter isn't a good idea by my standards. Try to come up with something doable.
Your idea is totaly fair. In my country (Chile) they charge to the second, not the minute since a couple of years now.
