This term refers to rounding off the minutes of a call if it falls under the per-minute fees charged at that time. For example, 3 minute rounding means the billing is in three minute increments (3, 6, 9 etc.). If your call lasts for 2 minutes, you will be charged for the full 3 minutes. Similarly, if your call lasts for 7 or 8 minutes, you will be charged for the full 9 minutes. Some cards do not use this method of billing and say so.
