Numbering note
Mobile number portability is supported; carrier lookup by prefix is unreliable, and type inference can drift after regulatory changes. Prefix-based carrier inference breaks after portability.

Often yes. Talkala quotes separate retail rates for landline and mobile destinations when both are published. The rate that applies depends on the line type you dial.
For the default public pricing origin (United States), landline is $0.06/min and mobile is $0.34/min. Open the French Guiana country guide for full context; rates update as the catalog changes.
Eligible accounts with zero balance and no completed paid top-up yet may receive one server-enforced free first minute, capped at 60 seconds, before adding credit. It only applies when the priced route for that specific call is $0.99/min or less. That requires at least one published landline or mobile rate at or below that ceiling for your pricing origin. Landline and mobile can differ, so your call still must price at or below the ceiling.
