How many calling minutes do you need? How to choose an iTel package
Last reviewed 13 November 2026
A calling package is described by three numbers: minutes, validity and price. Comparing them takes a minute once you know roughly how much you call.
Estimate how many minutes you need
Think about a normal week. Add up how many calls you make and about how long each lasts, then multiply by the number of weeks you want the package to last.
For example, if you talk for about 10 minutes a day, that is roughly 70 minutes a week, or about 300 minutes over 30 days. This is only an example of the arithmetic, not a plan on this site.
Compare the three numbers
- Minutes: how much calling time the package contains.
- Validity: how many days you can use the minutes. Check that the validity matches how long you will really need them.
- Price: shown on each plan page with its currency and confirmed when you place the order.
Tips for choosing
- Check the validity before buying. The plan page shows it next to the minutes.
- Divide the price by the minutes to get a rough cost per minute when comparing packages of different sizes.
- If you call a lot, compare total minutes and validity together, not price alone.
- If you only call now and then, a smaller package that you will really use may suit you better.
