Question
How are Twilio voice and calling product minutes rounded for billing?
Product
Programmable Voice
Answer
When Twilio's voice and calling products are billed to your account, any partial minutes (under 60 seconds) are rounded up to the next full minute. For example, an automated one-way call of 1 minute and 20 seconds would be billed as 2 minutes. Similarly, a two-way call connecting two different Call SIDs for 1 minute and 20 seconds would bill you for two different calls of 2 minutes.
This policy applies to the following products:

- Elastic SIP Trunking
- Media Streams
