The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the median, minimum and maximum ADVERTISED price across every provider that publishes one, held three ways at once because the market bills three ways: per month at each published minute or call bundle, per included minute, and per call. From that: the effective cost per call at 25, 50, 100 and 250 calls a month for every provider - the figure the buyer actually needs and no provider publishes, because computing it takes the base rate, the bundle, the overage rate and the rounding increment together; the share of providers publishing a rate card versus quote-only, per market; the spread between the cheapest and the dearest published entry tier; the overage premium (overage rate over in-bundle rate), which is where the advertised price and the bill diverge; and repriced-since the previous read, per provider and per tier.", "embed": "
