Americo 60+60 isn't a VoIP term directly but a generic one within the telephony industry
if it were 60+30 it would mean the following You are billed for 60 second as soon as the call is answered, even if you only stay on the line for 7 seconds The +30 then referes to the onward billing cycle, so in this case you are billed in blocks of 30 seconds (ie if you call is 1 min 15 seconds you are billed for 1 min 30) You said that you are billed for a whole second minuite if you go over by even 1 second, so that would be a +60, and since its always a bigger or equal number first we are guessing that you are in 60+60 rate plan I think its more common in your part of the world for your carriers to bill 30+6. One in the replys suggested a very favorable rate of 6+6 The important thing to rember here is that you can't gaurentee enough return if you do a billing rate that is better than that of your carriers - it sounds to me like your offering your service on a 1+1 (ie true per second billing) rate - very honarable, but your carrier needs to offer the same.
