Polish term or phrase: opłata za poł±czenie
I think the term is self-explanatory in Polish, but what is the 'fixed' English equivalent?

Explanation:
Many companies offer flat-rate local service whereby unlimited local calling is available for a set monthly cost. Other companies charge a monthly rate for what the telephone companies call "dial tone" and then charge you on either a per-call or per-minute rate for each local call.

connection fee


Explanation:
Wydaje mi się, że nie chodzi tu o opłatę naliczaną co minutę, ale właśnie opłatę za samo połączenie się z konkretnym numerem.

Maybe it's not so self-explanatory after all... :-)
