Six Second Billing
Covista's Riterate bills in six second increments. For those who don't know what six-second billing means, if you're calling long distance for 18 seconds, you only get billed for 0.3 minutes. You don't get billed for a full minute as you do with other companies. Minimum call length is 6 seconds for domestic calls.

Monthly Billing Fee
Covista's Riterate has no monthly billing fees if your usage is at least $20 a month. If your usage falls less than $20, there is a $1.99 billing fee.

Business or Personal Toll-Free Service
Personal toll-free access is also available at the same rates as for regular long distance. (See our home page and click on your state for specific rates.) Use a personal toll-free number when you're away from home and want to call home. You simply dial your assigned toll-free number and your home phone rings. It's great for spouses away on business, college students who want to call home, or extended family members and friends who live outside your local calling area.
