Voice is billed in the same message credits as chat. There is no separate voice bucket, no add-on, and no per-minute money price. One voice minute costs 10 credits, drawn from your plan allowance. See What counts as a message credit in Mando.

How the minutes count

  • Minutes are whole and round up. A call is billed the moment it connects, so a call under a minute costs 1 minute, and a call of 61 seconds costs 2.

  • The first minute, 10 credits, is charged the instant the caller connects, before anyone speaks.

  • Phone calls and web calls bill exactly the same way.

  • A call nobody answers costs nothing. Billing starts at connect, not at dial.

When credits run low

  • If your balance is low, a call is shortened to the minutes you can afford, quietly. This is one reason a call can end before your set maximum. See Why your calls end before your maximum length.

  • If you do not have 10 credits, a new call will not start. The caller is asked to try again, and no alert appears in your dashboard, so watch your usage.

Where you see it

  • Open Usage in the workspace menu. It charts voice minutes per app per day and offers a CSV export.

  • Your billed voice credits are blended into the Messages and Credits total on the same page, not shown as a separate voice figure. See Check your usage.

  • The dashboard does not show individual call durations or a call count. Figures reset with each billing period.

Voice minutes count against the same monthly allowance as your chat replies, so heavy calling and heavy chat draw from one pool. Compare what each plan includes in Compare Mando plans and pricing.
