Everything buyers ask before they buy, by topic.
Answers here summarise the Terms of Sale. The binding detail for your order is always in your purchase agreement.
What you own, how new ports are provisioned, and who stands behind them.

Dedicated ports on our wholesale route to a specific destination, on a fixed ten-year capacity contract: at the end you can renew for a further term, or let it mature and Minutes Network buys the capacity back at the price you paid. Each allocation carries a stated maximum of minutes per day at a per-minute floor rate that tracks the live market. Run your own traffic over the ports, or appoint us to resell them and keep the margin each carried minute produces. This is not an investment: you are purchasing a telecommunications product, not a deposit, a security or a fund.
No: every allocation is additional capacity, provisioned new for your order. These are fresh dedicated ports added to the network, not a share of capacity already carrying traffic. The Accelerator is how the network grows its footprint: new dedicated capacity is committed ahead of the traffic that fills it, and it becomes yours for the life of the contract. We do not resell ports we already run our own traffic over.
On a conservative, practical basis. A port running full 24/7 would carry 1,440 minutes a day: but no route runs a full day: traffic concentrates in peak hours, and answer rates (ASR) run around 60-80% depending on the circuits, the traffic and the numbers being dialled. We state capacity at what the ports practically carry, around 500 minutes per port per day, and days land at or under it.
Interconnect details are issued within 2-3 business days. Once live, under the resale option our wholesale traffic fills your ports to their full daily throughput every day, around 500 minutes per port a day, guaranteed, with anything above that a bonus, and your capacity earns on every carried minute from its first live day, not the purchase date. If you run your own traffic, you bring the volume and earn on every carried minute from your first live day.
In three distinct ways. More minutes flowing means more chances for a call to land on one of Jingle's existing endpoints. The volume gives Minutes Network more frequent callees to onboard into Jingle: a Hyperscaling onboarding model that keeps growing the endpoint base. And the more traffic there is, the higher the chance of matching a call to Jingle's existing application user base. Your traffic grows the network, and the network grows the higher-margin path.
Accelerator traffic runs over the Minutes Network like any other traffic: DePIN fees are paid as normal, and the traffic is visible on the public explorer. Nothing about the Accelerator bypasses the network's economics.
Yes: your capacity is a transferable contractual right, and you can sell it later. Offer it to Minutes Network first: we hold a contractual right of first refusal, for 14 days from your notice, to repurchase it at the price you paid. If we pass, you can transfer it to a third party who completes the same identity verification and takes over your agreement in full, with our written consent, which is not unreasonably withheld once those checks are passed.
Your capacity runs for a fixed ten-year term from activation. Margin withdraws on your cadence throughout. At the end of the term you choose: renew for a further term and carry on, or let it mature: and if it matures, Minutes Network buys the capacity back at the price you paid, on top of the margin you earned along the way. You are not locked in either: the capacity can be sold on earlier too, with Minutes Network holding a right of first refusal to repurchase at the price you paid. The buyback at maturity is guaranteed; the margin you earn along the way tracks the market and is not.
At the end of your fixed ten-year term you choose:
That buy-back is an asset repurchase: we buy the ports themselves back, separately from the margin they produced along the way. It is guaranteed, conditional on running to maturity in good standing without renewing; the margin itself tracks the live market and is not guaranteed. This is not an investment: you are purchasing a telecommunications product, not a deposit, a security or a fund.
Minutes Network FZ-LLC (Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, License No. 47016932): the wholesale network behind minutesnetwork.io, interconnected with tier-one carriers worldwide. Your contract is with us.
No: you own a contractual right to capacity: a stated number of ports on a named route, carrying up to a stated maximum of minutes per day at your floor rate, for the life of the contract. The network that carries the traffic stays ours to run and maintain. Your right is transferable, recorded in your purchase agreement, and produces margin whether we resell it or you run your own traffic over it.
Yes. Each package is bought on a named destination, with its own floor rate and its own contract, and you can hold allocations on several at once. Inventory per destination is finite, once the provisioned capacity on a route is taken, it shows as sold out until new capacity is added, so a route you want may not always be open.
It can, upward. Jingle is an app-termination network interconnected with Minutes Network, and traffic that terminates over it carries a higher margin: applied automatically where possible. Under the resale option that uplift flows straight into the realized rates you settle at. It is best-effort: never guaranteed for a given call or route, which is why we quote the observed market range rather than the Jingle rate.
Where the rates come from, how the margin is worked out, and when it is paid.

From several market sources: the carrier rate sheets we trade against, and live sell-rate listings on the wholesale exchange, among others. The exchange listings are re-sampled automatically through the day; the carrier sheets update as carriers issue new ones. We show a range because the market trades in a range.
The margin is not guaranteed: wholesale rates move with the market. What is guaranteed: under the resale option our wholesale traffic fills your ports to their full daily utilisation, around 500 minutes per port a day, with anything above that a bonus, and at maturity Minutes Network buys the capacity back at the price you paid. On top of that you get a bulk buy price under today's observed sell range, full visibility, and a contract stating exactly what you own.
Every minute carried over your ports settles your floor rate to Minutes Network: and everything above it is yours. Under the resale option we resell your capacity, our wholesale traffic is carried over it, and you earn the commercial margin between the realized sell rate and your floor on every carried minute; traffic is never carried below your floor. It accrues live in your portal and is paid out to you on your payout cadence: monthly for entry sizes, while the largest packages let you choose between monthly payouts and the four-month tier-1 cycle, the longer cycle carrying the stronger rates. Minutes Network takes its own share of the margin separately: its consideration for reselling your capacity (or providing the infrastructure when you run it yourself); that share is never included in, and never dilutes, the margin figures you see, which are stated net to you. Once available, withdraw it by bank wire or USDC whenever you like.
Yes. Under the resale option, the minutes carried in each settlement cycle are already covered by your allocation price at your floor rate: there is no separate per-minute cost for that cycle. When a minute is carried, your floor settles to Minutes Network out of the sale, and any realized rate above it is your margin to keep. If you run your own traffic instead, you terminate at your floor against a usage balance you keep topped up.
Yes. Floor prices track the live market: if the market moves, your floor re-bases to it immediately: there is no notice period. Each re-base is matched at the same moment by fresh buy and sell rates, so your floor is never off-market and the spread is carried on both sides.
Because that is where the margin genuinely comes from. Bulk always buys cheaper: the same rule we live by when committing to carriers. A small commitment sits close to the market; the lowest rates, and so the widest margin per minute, belong to the large allocations.
Margin accrues live as minutes are carried, then unlocks on your payout cadence. Cycles run on calendar months: on the monthly cadence, each month's margin becomes available once that month closes and the purchasing carrier's payment has been received, so your first release follows the close of the month your capacity starts carrying, and monthly after that. The four-month tier-1 cadence works the same way over four-month blocks.
Once available, withdraw from your portal whenever you like:
The full money flow is laid out under settlement and payouts.
Margin narrows: which is why the margin itself is not guaranteed. The protection built in is that your floor tracks the live market and re-bases to it immediately: matched at the same moment by fresh buy and sell rates, so your floor is never off-market and the spread is carried on both sides. Traffic is never carried below your floor, and under the resale option your ports keep filling to their full daily utilisation. What we sell is a bulk price under the observed range.
Under the resale option, no: the minutes carried each cycle are already covered by your allocation at your floor, and Minutes Network's own share of the margin is taken separately, never out of the figures shown to you. Under self-run you fund a usage balance and minutes bill against it at your floor: that is your cost of terminating traffic, not a fee.
Yes, while it is unpaid: open the order in your portal and choose Cancel this order, and nothing is owed. If you simply do not pay, the order lapses after 14 days, again with nothing owed: and if you change your mind, you can reinstate it yourself from the order page at today's price with a fresh 14-day window, as long as that route and size are still on offer.
Once paid, this is a capacity purchase rather than a subscription: there is no rolling payment to cancel. If you later want out, the capacity can be sold on, and Minutes Network holds a right of first refusal to repurchase at the price you paid. The binding detail lives in your purchase agreement and the Terms of Sale.
Day to day: your own traffic or ours, live figures in the portal, and switching between the two.

At all times: it is your product. From your panel you set the minimum rate your capacity sells at (traffic never carries below it), pause and resume traffic with one click, and see everything live: ports online, minutes billed, realized rates: read from the exchange that carries the traffic.
Under the resale option, yes. Minutes Network guarantees full daily utilisation: our wholesale traffic fills your ports to their full daily throughput, around 500 minutes per port a day, the rate we rate a port at, in every 24-hour period once your capacity is live, and anything above that is a bonus, not part of the guarantee. Your margin accrues on every carried minute, and the capacity keeps producing across the full ten-year term. If you run your own traffic instead, utilisation is down to the volume you bring.
Your own core or SIP equipment pointed at our network: or our cloud core platform, access to which is included with your capacity, so no hardware is needed at all. We provide the connection address, your own assigned IP address, a technical prefix and credentials. Minutes you terminate bill at your floor rate against a usage balance you top up, whatever you charge your own customers above the floor is your margin, and your portal shows minutes and balance live.
Yes. Every order starts on the resale option; to run your own traffic, or to move back, send the request from your portal and we will move unused capacity between paths. Traffic already carried stays where it was.
You do: always. Resale traffic begins only when you click Start traffic on your route page; the platform never starts it for you. After that, pause and resume are one click each, and the same page shows ports online, minutes billed and realized rates as they happen.
A one-click confirmation on your dashboard while your capacity is live: confirm all is well, or flag an issue: which opens a high-priority ticket immediately. It keeps a standing record that you have eyes on your own capacity, and it gives any problem a fast lane the moment you spot it.
You top it up from your portal, by bank wire or USDC on Base from $20, and each top-up is credited once we confirm it arrived. Every minute you terminate bills against it at your floor rate. Minutes used and balance remaining show live, so you can watch consumption as it happens and top up before you run low. Whatever you charge your own customers above the floor is yours.
Not to buy, and not for the resale option: there we carry the traffic and you hold the capacity. If you run your own traffic, you are operating as a reseller in your own markets, and staying compliant with the rules that apply where you sell is your responsibility: exactly as it would be with capacity bought from any carrier.
Yes: request core access from your portal and you can manage routing on your capacity directly. The cloud core platform is included with your capacity either way, so you can start on the standard setup and take full control whenever you want it.
Yes. We publish a read-only metrics API for following the same live figures the Accelerator runs on: capacity remaining on each route, minutes carried today, available-versus-utilized capacity and the active or paused split. It is token-authenticated and strictly aggregate: request a key and you can poll it directly. Once you own capacity, you can also create your own key in the portal for the account API, which returns your own capacity, earnings and balances only.
Our status page shows the live health of the website, your portal, the API, payment detection, email, the Telegram bot and the traffic network. Every part is checked once a minute, with 90 days of history, and any incident or planned maintenance is posted there as it happens. You can follow it in a feed reader too.
Verification, invoices, the agreement itself and the rules that protect every buyer.
9 answers
Anti-money-laundering rules apply to every purchase, whether you pay by wire or crypto. Verification is done once per account, typically takes minutes, and must clear before an order activates.
Any abuse notification or trouble ticket attributable to your sales is posted to your portal as a notice, with what needs remedying. Self-run traffic must be genuine international voice traffic: non-dialer, non-fraudulent, with an average call duration of at least 3 minutes on the route. Traffic that fails the standard is suspended (your capacity stays yours) until the source is cleaned: that protects every buyer's routes, including yours.
Yes. Every purchase generates a contract at checkout and a numbered invoice when your order activates: both live under Documents in your portal, alongside a receipt line for every confirmed payment.
After. You accept the agreement and pay first, then verify your identity: typically in minutes. Your order activates once both have landed: a confirmed payment and a cleared verification. You verify once per account, so every later order activates as soon as its payment is confirmed. The sequence is deliberate: anti-money-laundering rules mean no capacity goes live, and no payout is made, for an account we have not verified, whichever way you pay.
Bank wire, with a unique reference for your order, or cryptocurrency:
Card payments are not accepted. Your order gets its own deposit address per network, and crypto deposits are detected on-chain automatically: there is no transaction ID to paste in. Identity verification follows payment, whichever way you pay, and must clear before your order activates.
The purchase agreement is issued at order, and your recorded acceptance at checkout plus payment against your order reference constitute acceptance: no signature is required from you. When your order activates (payment confirmed and identity verified), Minutes Network countersigns: the executed agreement, with its signature record and execution certificate, is emailed to you and stored under Documents. If payment does not arrive within 14 days, the order lapses with nothing owed, and you can reinstate it from the order page while the route and size are still offered.
Because a payout is a payment for telecommunications capacity you supplied, and proper books need an invoice behind every payment: on both sides. The payout form includes a pre-filled example invoice: download it, add your own invoice number, upload it, and the payout proceeds. It is a standard self-billing arrangement, and it keeps your records as clean as ours.
That you are buying a defined telecommunications service: dedicated capacity at a stated floor rate, the same thing carriers buy from each other every day. There is no pooled fund and no promised return: margin exists only when minutes are carried and sold above your floor, and you can carry that traffic yourself. Appointing us to resell it is a commercial resale arrangement for telecom traffic, not a managed investment. That is why we publish observed market data instead of projections, and why your contract is a purchase agreement for capacity, not an offering document.
A contract at checkout, a numbered invoice when your order activates and a receipt line for every confirmed payment, all under Documents in your portal, plus a pro forma invoice on the order page while payment is pending. Margin figures are stated net to you, before your own taxes; how the purchase and your margin are treated where you are is one for your own adviser.
