What does "pulse rate" mean?

[Bloodred]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to find out the call prices of a mobile network operator, so I visited its website and in the tariff description I saw the following note: pulse rate is 30 seconds.
I only can suppose that if I for example speak 1 second I pay for 30 seconds, if I speak 31 seconds I pay for 60 seconds, and so on. Am I right?

Thanks for you help in advance!

I have no idea what the website is referring to. I thought pulses and pulse rates were technological relics from the era of the rotary dial phone.

Any search results I get about mobile phones and pulse rates are just various apps and devices to measure your heart rate.

I've never heard that term. I don't know of a specific term to describe a tariff in which calls are charged in 30-second segments as you described.
