Your margin over the floor
Entry to the largest allocation - larger allocations earn a wider margin.
The margin above the floor is yours.Paid out to you when we resell your capacity, or kept directly when you run your own traffic. Figures use today's lowest market sell rate, so any higher realized rate is upside.

Capacity ownership is what you purchase. A one-time price secures the ports for the 10-year term and covers one settlement cycle at your floor. The capacity stays yours throughout, and at the end of the term you can renew for a further term, or let it mature and Minutes Network buys the capacity back at the price you paid, on top of the margin you earned along the way.
Margin is potential; the return is not guaranteed. Rates shown are observed market data.

Choose your capacity
Capacity is sold as dedicated ports on a 10-year contract. Four things worth knowing:
Sold as dedicated ports
Each package is a set number of dedicated ports on your route, priced as one settlement cycle of its ports' traffic at your floor.
The daily maximum
A port could carry 1,440 min in 24 hours - but traffic concentrates into the destination's waking hours (roughly a 12-hour window), and answer rates run 60-80%. That lands at a conservative, practical 500 min/day per port.
Your floor, in writing
Set in your purchase agreement, your floor tracks the live market and re-bases to it immediately if the market moves - no notice period - matched at the same moment by fresh buy and sell rates on both sides, so it is never off-market.
The margin is yours
For every carried minute, the floor rate is the cost owed to Minutes Network. Sell it yourself at any rate, or let us sell - everything above the floor is yours.
Pick your allocation
Each package is a block of dedicated ports at a below-market floor rate - everything the traffic realizes above that floor is your margin. Entry sizes pay out to you monthly. On the largest packages you choose how you are paid: monthly payouts, or the 4-month tier-1 cycle for a markedly lower floor. Only the sizes we can deliver from held inventory are shown.

Each figure is that allocation's margin at the lowest quoted sell rate we reference; realized rates run higher, and larger allocations earn a wider margin. Indicative, not guaranteed.
Pay once, earn the margin, keep the asset
You are purchasing 10-year ownership, not a subscription and not a deposit. Here is exactly how the money moves once it is yours.
When we resell your capacity, there is nothing more to pay. No hidden fees, no extra charges, no monthly costs - your one-time purchase is the only payment for the full 10-year term.
See how the margin works
Your $5,424.60 purchase gives you 10-year capacity ownership. The capacity supports up to 500 minutes per day, and the margin above the floor is what is paid out to you.

Prefer to run your own traffic? You terminate over your ports at your floor, against a usage balance you keep topped up, and keep whatever you charge above the floor. Your route, your rate, your responsibility.

$5,424.60 buys 1 port at a market-tracking floor of $0.36164/min - margins above are referenced against it.
The carrier rows are other wholesale carriers' own published sell rates - examples of what other companies are selling this route at today, not Minutes Network's prices - quoting the IDT Platinum and WorldCall KPN rate sheets effective 22 Jul 2026, named per destination as published. Listed "from" prices are each deck's cheapest prefix, not the blended route rate - traffic customarily trades above them. The market range and every margin figure are referenced against the LOWEST of those quoted offers that clears your floor - never against a cheapest-prefix teaser, and never against a cherry-picked higher rate - so the figures stay conservative by construction.
If we resell your capacity
We resell your capacity with our wholesale traffic and your margin accrues live above your floor rate. Smaller allocations pay out to you monthly; on the largest packages you pick the cadence - monthly payouts to you, or the tier-1 cycle (your payout lands every ~4 months) for the strongest rates.
Live realized rates
We work your capacity toward the strongest rates the market offers.
You choose your payout cadence
Smaller allocations pay out to you monthly. On the largest packages you decide how you are paid: monthly, or on the 4-month tier-1 cycle for the lowest floors.
Longer terms, stronger rates
Tier-1 cycles command the best market rates.

Good to know
Each cadence's range sits at the conservative end of the market range shown above - stepping just over its lowest quote, never near the ceiling - and moves as the market moves. Rates above the ladder, up to the premium ceiling, are upside not priced into any figure. Minutes Network takes its own share of the margin separately - its consideration for reselling your capacity, or for providing the infrastructure when you run it yourself; that share is never included in, and never dilutes, any margin figure shown (figures are net to you). The return is not guaranteed. Minute prices globally can change; your floor re-bases to the live market immediately, matched at the same moment by fresh buy and sell rates on both sides. On the largest allocations you can be paid out on the 4-month tier-1 terms, whose price reflects the longer cycle and whose floor sits markedly lower for it, or be paid out monthly; smaller allocations pay out to you monthly.
