That set-up is fine if they plan on sending you an exact, unchangeable specification sheet from which to code from. If you are participating in design issues, etc, then you should be compensated for you expertise. Mechanincs will charge you to diagnose a problem even if they don't fix it! -geo

I agree with Cameron about ways to get around it, but it would worry me that the client would even ask for such a thing. Over the course of a month, this could add up to a few hours. Why would the client want you to do this for free? (In other words, is this going to be a problem client?) I think

I think it's reasonable to bill for phone time. It's really up to you though, and what the client is willing to do. If the client doesn't want phone time billed, just up your hourly rates and say "ok". There's more than one way to skin the cat. -Cameron Cameron Childress
