There's an application (sorry, which one, escapes me at the moment), 
that gets around this by reserving a certain amount of credit per call.
Say the amount is 10 minutes, if you have 30 minutes worth of credit, 
you can have 3 concurrent calls good for 10 minutes each.
The way I understand it, if you only have 15 minutes left in your 
account, the first call will last for 10 and the next concurrent one for 
5 minutes.
