These rates apply if you dial the call yourself. Significantly higher rates apply if a long distance call is operator assisted. All rates include applicable taxes after the GST rebate. In other words, this is the rate that is charged to your FIS accounts.

Notes about charges and the lists of most frequently called countries:

  1. Rates listed show the cost per minute for a customer-dialed call and have been rounded to the nearest cent
  2. Due to rounding of the charge for the call, the average cost per minute of a call may vary. For example, a Canadian call may vary between 6.3 and 8.0 cents per minute for short-duration calls
  3. Long distance calls are billed in six-second increments with a minimum billing period of 30 seconds
  4. Rates listed include all applicable taxes and have been adjusted for the University’s GST rebate
  5. International long distance rates are subject to change without notice, depending on the University’s monthly volume of long distance and on market conditions
  6. Operator-assisted calls are considerably more expensive and are not covered by the University’s long distance
