Data Source: Rates are sourced from Twilio wholesale termination rates, which reflect the actual cost carriers charge to connect calls to each destination. PhoneTheWorld applies a transparent markup to these rates.
Rate Calculation: For each country, we show the minimum available rate for mobile and landline destinations. Rates are per minute, rounded up (same as Twilio bills). No per-second billing, no connection fees.
Coverage: The index covers 230 countries with active rate data. Both mobile and landline rates are tracked separately, as mobile termination typically costs more than landline.
Update Frequency: Rates are updated when carrier termination costs change. The index reflects rates as of 2026.
