# Why can the call rates in the calculator be different to the starting prices in the same country?

The price per minute for outbound calls, depends on destination country conditions like:

* For mobile phone numbers, every carrier may charge a different rate per minute.
* For landline some regions or cities may charge a different rate per minute because of different providers or specific country regulations.

When you are using the calculator in our pricing page, the prices per minute are more precise than the ones in the coverage section and it can be different, because they have these conditions applied. The prices that are shown in the coverage section are the lowest possible for that country, these are subjected to provider availability.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bird.com/toky-en/readme/why-can-the-call-rates-in-the-calculator-be-different-to-the-starting-prices-in-the-same-country.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
