Here is the announcement. US to US calls are 17 cents a minute. Half a minute or less was 9 cents.
Quote from Tru email:
I am writing to inform you of a change in the way calls on the Tru network are billed.
As of March 28 2012, all calls made from or received in the USA will be billed in increments of one minute.
There are no changes to your rates or service agreement with Tru, and no action is required of you.
Unfortunately, I valued the half minute pricing also.

This never seemed to come about. Incoming call minimum times are one minute. Outgoing calls are 30 seconds. Without tax the calls would be 15 cents incoming, 7.5 cents outgoing and SMS 10 cents. With the tax 17 cents, 9 cents and 12 cents for SMS.
In order to keep the SIM alive every 90[?] days it is cheaper to place a short call than send an SMS.
