RCFs typically come with only one call path, and each additional path must be paid for. Each path can handle one simultaneous call. So two paths allow two people to call the number and be forwarded at the same time. It is possible to buy VoIP call paths as well (which are more virtual.)

Each line on which RCF is activated will have a set up fee associated with it. The amount depends on whether the line is residential (also known as Basic) or business (also known as Premium) and also on the provider. Different providers charge different set up fees.

The customer also continues to pay line rental for each line with RCH active. Most providers tie customers into a 12 month line rental contract for RCF but a few offer this service with no contract.

The customer also pays the cost of the forwarded call. Most providers will also charge a call connection fee and many also round calls up to the nearest minute.

No source is cited for any of this (the gov't specification is just the dictdef in the first two paragraphs of this article's intro) so I'm removing details of contract length, fees and number of simultaneous paths. Please find a source for these before putting them back as this sort of detail may be carrier-specific and not universal. K7L (talk) 19:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
