The Upstart Package includes a free phone and 300 minutes.
It will cost 12 cents per minute for each minute over the plan time.
This package has a base rate of $41.95.
.12(365-300) + 41.95 =
.12(65) + 41.95 =
7.80 + 41.95 = $49.75
:
The Newstart Package has a phone that costs $10 and has 350 minutes.
It will cost 8 cents per minute for each minute over the plan time.
This package has a base rate of $37.95 not including the phone.
.08(365-350) + 10 + 37.95 =
.08(15) + 47.95 =
1.20 + 47.95 = $49.15
