If I remember correctly, they bill in sub-minute increments, something like
60 second minimum, then every 6 seconds after that.  In other words, if you
have a 20 second call, it's billed as 60 seconds, however, if you have a 62
second call, it's billed as 66.  I don't remember what they're specific
increments are, but I don't believe it was a straight bill.

Are you finding that you're off by just a few seconds per call, or by
minutes? When you say you're off by 3-4%, are you saying your CDR reports
100 minutes on a call and they are showing 104 minutes, or vice versa?
