What rounding up costs
A provider that bills in whole minutes charges a full minute for a 47-second call — 28% more for exactly the same conversation. Both figures here are priced at our own rate for Nigeria, so the comparison isolates the billing unit rather than guessing at somebody else's tariff.
Method: our published per-minute rate × 47/60 against the same rate × 1 minute. Telvio bills per second with no connection fee.

Why a minute to Nigeria costs $0.32
The price of an international call is mostly not set by the company you buy it from. It is the wholesale termination rate: what the operator in Nigeria charges to accept the call onto their network and deliver it to the person you are ringing. Your provider pays that, adds a margin, and quotes you the total.
Nigeria sits in the middle band. At $0.32 a minute the wholesale cost is a real component of the price rather than a rounding error, so the corridor is affordable without being one of the cheap ones. We would rather say that than call it a bargain.
Landline and mobile cost the same in Nigeria, $0.32 a minute, so there is nothing to decide before you dial.
Measured against everywhere we publish a rate, Nigeria is the 44th cheapest of 93. It also sits below the average for its part of the world — $0.32 against $0.69 — so this is a genuinely cheap corridor rather than one that only looks cheap next to roaming.
There is no connection fee, no minimum charge and no rounding on top of the rate, and credit does not expire. How Telvio pricing works

Full dialing guideHow to read a Nigeria phone number
A Nigeria number is +234 followed by 8 digits. Knowing which of those digits mark a mobile is what tells you what the call will cost before you place it.
Inside Nigeria, numbers are dialled with a leading 0. Drop it when calling from abroad — keeping it is the single most common reason an international call fails.
Mobile prefixes
Landline prefixes
Prefix ranges still identify a line as mobile or fixed even where a number has been ported between operators, because the mobile and fixed blocks are separate and numbers do not move between them. Operator identification from a prefix, by contrast, stopped being reliable once portability arrived.

How much does it cost to call Nigeria?
Telvio charges $0.32/min to Nigeria landlines and $0.32/min to mobiles. Billing is per second with no connection fees, so you pay only for the seconds you talk.
How much is a 10-minute call to Nigeria?
Ten minutes to a Nigeria landline costs $3.20 with Telvio, and $3.20 to a mobile. A full hour to a mobile costs $19.20. Billing is per second with no connection fee, so a call that runs to 10 minutes 30 seconds is charged for 10 minutes 30 seconds rather than being rounded up to 11.
Does Telvio round calls up to the minute?
No. Telvio bills per second. A 47-second call to Nigeria costs $0.2507; a provider that rounds every call up to a whole minute charges $0.32 for the same conversation, which is 28% more. The difference is largest on short calls and negligible on long ones.
How many minutes does $4.99 of credit buy for Nigeria?
About 15 minutes to a Nigeria mobile, or about 15 minutes to a landline, from a $4.99 pack. Credit is spent at the per-country rate rather than as a fixed minute bundle, so the same pack goes further to a cheap destination and less far to an expensive one. It does not expire.

Yes. Telvio calls both landline and mobile numbers in Nigeria. Mobile rates are $0.32/min. You dial the full number including the country code +234.

By its leading digits. In Nigeria, a national number of 8 digits beginning with 70, 80, 81, 90, 91 is a mobile. That still works after a number has been ported between operators, because mobile and fixed-line blocks are separate ranges and numbers do not move between them.
