Connection Fee Explained
Kinvo charges a flat $0.05 connection fee per call to Chile. This fee is charged only when the call is answered by the recipient. You are never charged for:
- -Calls that are not answered (no pickup)
- -Calls that reach a busy signal
- -Calls that fail to connect due to network issues
- -Calls you cancel before the recipient answers
For example, a 10-minute call to a Chile landline costs: $0.05 + (10 x $0.22) = $2.25. A 10-minute call to a Chile mobile costs: $0.05 + (10 x $0.10) = $1.05.

Cheaper than Chile Calling Cards
International calling cards advertise low per-minute rates to Chile but pad costs with connection fees ($0.09–$0.99 per call), maintenance fees ($0.50–$2 per week), and per-minute rounding that can double the effective rate. A $10 calling card to Chile typically delivers 60–70% of the advertised minutes after fees.
Cheaper than Your Carrier's Chile Rates
US mobile carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) charge $1.00–$3.00 per minute for direct-dialed calls to Chile. Their international add-on plans run $10–$15/month and often exclude mobile numbers — meaning a 30-minute call to a Chile mobile on a carrier plan can still cost $30+. The same call on Kinvo costs $3.05.
A common trap: assuming WiFi calling makes international calls cheap. It does not — WiFi calling still bills at carrier international rates. See WiFi calling vs VoIP for international calls for the full breakdown.

How much does a 30-minute call to Chile cost?
A 30-minute call to a Chile landline costs $6.65 and a 30-minute mobile call costs $3.05. That's $0.22/min × 30 plus the one-time $0.05 connection fee. Shorter and longer durations are in the cost ladder above.
Why is calling Chile more expensive on mobile than landline?

No. The only charges are the per-minute rate and a $0.05 connection fee, billed only when the call is answered. No subscription, no minimums, no surcharges for premium carriers, and credits never expire.
Do Kinvo credits expire?
No. Credits stay in your account indefinitely. No hidden fees, no expiration dates — only what you actually spend on calls is deducted.
