If you make, say, $25 worth of calls and get a ten per cent volume
discount, the FONcard charges are indeed discounted at ten per cent as
well.  For example, on a recent bill, my pre-tax charges for 1+ calls
were $21 and my FONcard calls were $6.20, for a total of $27.20.  The
discount was $2.72.

Aside from the 75-cent surcharge, the bad thing about FONcard calls
under Sprint Plus is that night rates do not start at 5:00 p.m. the
way they do with 1+ calls.
