General cell phone question

When do cell phone's start charging you for air time?
Is it when you hit call/send?
Or is it when you connect?

Do you get charged for calls that don't go thru? like it rings, but no one picks up.

(when I say charged, I mean using your allotted minutes)

When you connect I believe, but if you dial and somebody doesn't pick up w/i 30 seconds you get charged a minute, AT&T changed their policy to this over the summer so many people including myself where able to get out of their contracts. I have t-mobile now and have so many minutes I don't worry about it anymore.
 
general rule is if you connect its charged from when the dial tone started, if no one answers (including voicemail/answering machine) you dont get charged at all...that means if it rings 16,000 times and then someone picks up, you are charged for all that time it was ringing
 
calls to other people's voicemail most definitely incur airtime.with Cingular, unanswered calls for more than 30 seconds incur airtime.
