I have similar question as well. I am building hosted telephony app, and the question is whether to charge base fee + telephony charges or bundle minutes into the plan. eg. $9 for basic plan + 5 cents a minute $15 for advanced plan + 3 cents a minute

OR

$15 with 500 Minutes $30 With 2000 Minutes etc.

what are general assumptions? What factors should I consider before making final decision?

Hey my app is actually a telephony app too! I didn't mention the per minute stuff in my post because I have to charge for the minutes regardless.

In your second example, what would you do with a user who only used 100 minutes? Will you rollover their unused minutes or is it "use it or lose it"?

I have not decided that yet either. Rollover does seem better option.
