International rates will continue to be charged per minute for other countries with no changes to the rates this year.
1International Mobile Termination Charge (IMTC) is a per-minute cost imposed by many non-U.S. telecommunications companies for international calls that originate in the U.S. and connect to wireless communications devices. The charges fluctuate and vary by country. They are passed through to departments on the monthly telecom bill.
