Carrots & payment

How are calls charged?

The person receiving the call sets their own rate. The caller pays that rate in Carrots.

How charging works

  • Rates are shown as Carrots per minute, but you're actually charged by the second.
  • During the call, the remaining talk time is shown on screen.
  • When you have 1 minute of balance left, we'll let you know, and you can top up without ending the call.
  • If your balance runs out, the call ends.
  • If you turn on auto-translated captions, extra Carrots are charged for the time they're on.

When you're not charged

  • The other person doesn't answer
  • You cancel the request before it connects
  • The call fails to connect right after being accepted because of a network problem

Some people take calls for free. Always check the rate on their profile and on the request screen.
