It is my understanding is this part of the globe that C-1 charges from
the moment you hit the SEND key if (and only if) the call is answered.
Otherwise, no charge.

[Moderator's Note: The same policy applies to Ameritech, the carrier I
use. If a call is answered, then the charging is backdated to when you
hit the send button. No answer, no charge for air time.   PAT]
