How billing works during a chat
- 1
Before the chat starts, the app shows your wallet balance and the maximum minutes you can chat with it.
- 2
During the chat, a per-minute timer and your remaining balance are visible on screen at all times.
- 3
The per-minute charge is deducted from your wallet as each minute of chat begins. A started minute is counted as a full minute.
- 4
When your balance runs out, the chat stops automatically. You are never charged more than your wallet balance, and there is no negative balance.
- 5
You can end the chat at any time with the End Chat button. Billing stops immediately.
- 6
Every recharge and every chat appears in the Wallet → Transactions screen of the app, with date, time, duration and amount.
