In the USA the owner of the mobile you are calling has to pay to receive your
call or it comes out of some of their inclusive minutes, some networks may
allow for the first 30 seconds or so of an incoming call to be free. This
also means it costs the same for you to call a USA mobile as it does a USA
landline. Crazy system I know, and one I am glad never took off here in
Europe and elsewhere. It might not mention about paying for incoming calls on
some of the websites as in the USA it is common knowledge you have to pay.
