All right.
A rate plan is a combination of rates and features:
Free "nights and weekends" calling is a "feature".
1000 min free during business hours is, again, a "feature".
Price per minute during business hours over the 1000 min limint in this example - a rate.
Additional routing fee per minute - also a rate.
An so forth

Specifically, taking your exampl of "30 diddly ...", - its just a rate, not any "rule".
A "rate rule" could be something imposed by the government, e.g. forcing providers to offer discounts for seniors.

Note from asker:
| Unfortunately, that won't do, because the "rate plan" in the text in question is something described by several such rules (or whatever we choose to call them) |

rate scheme
What you call "rules" are actually "parameters" in the scheme.
Ref:
http://www.ossnewsreview.com/oss-telecom-dictionary.html
A rate scheme is a set of price (rate) lists and a parameterized mechanism (decision tree) for selecting them. It allows an ISP to charge for service usage, depending on such factors as the time of day, day of the week, the type of service, the access technology used, etc. For example, a rate scheme may specify an off-peak rate from 00:00 to 08:00, a peak rate from 08.00 to 19:00, and an intermediate rate from 19:00 to 24:00. It may also indicate different prices for week days, weekend days, public holidays, and for ISDN, or DSL, etc. The applicable factors that determine the rates, as the DCP user must define well the rating scheme itself. A rate scheme is specific to a particular ISP.
