Per minute charge query on mobile networks

Just had a quick look on vodafone pay-as-u-go and they state that they charge per minute, is this the norm for other mobile networks

Generally rates are given per minute but billed per second. (unless otherwise stated, bla bla bla, e.g. premium numbers, etc)
This is certainly the case with Meteor and O2.
