Looks like it's gone down to 0.05c per minute http://www.boost.com.au/products/rates.php

Wondered why my $20 was lasting so long

I looked at Boost before buying mine, and the reason I didn't go with them was the 49c 'verification' fee for each call.

Most of our calls aren't long enough to warrant that kind of fee.

PS : I think you've put one to many 0's there. Calls are 0.5c / min
