Questions about the calculation

Simple calculation

In the case of a simple calculation, we base the calculation on data obtained from the telecommunications company's website, email, phone calls or from other users (validated by Redspot).

This data is included in our calculation:

• Subscription rate per channel.
• Subscription rate per phone no.
• Minute rate for calls to landline and mobile.
• Avg. minute rate for international calls.1
• Avg. call length of 2.2 min (2 min and 12 seconds).
• Call setup fee and whether failed call attempts are charged. Failed calls are calculated as 25% more calls.
• Billing every x. seconds.
• Typical distribution of 78% of bill amount minus subscriptions to national mobile, 3% to national landline and 19% for international calls.
• Redspot's minute rate for calls to landlines and mobiles.
• Redspot's average minute rate for international calls.1
• Redspot's average subscription rate per channel.1

Advanced calculation

In the case of an advanced calculation, we base the calculation on the above data that you partially enter yourself, however with the following changes:

• Call distribution between landline, mobile and international is calculated based on your own bill amount entries.

Result

Based on the above we calculate how much you will be able to save by switching to Redspot. Furthermore, we calculate how much your total liquidity improves, as we, among other things, can invoice you without VAT.

We also disclose where our data is sourced from and give you the opportunity to receive an in-depth report by e-mail.

The call setup rate originates from the time when we had electromechanical telephone exchanges that were subject to wear and tear from establishing a call.

Since we have been using purely electronic telephone exchanges for many decades, there is no mechanical wear and tear and the call setup rate is in principle obsolete, but it is often charged anyway.

The call setup rate amounts to approx. 20-42% of your phone call bill, so it's not small amount we're talking about. If you also pay for call attempts, the share is 24-50%.1

As the first and only telecommunications company in Denmark, Redspot has chosen to completely remove the call setup charge for our Business SIP-trunks.

Some telecom companies charge every 20, 30 or 60 seconds, which means that a 2:01 call will be charged as 2:20, 2:30 or 3:00. This results in you paying 7, 11 or 22% more for your calls.1

Redspot charges per second, which is the only fair way to charge.
