-=PCTechTalk=- Re: our cell phones

I think what "called number pays" actually refers to is the fact that a cell 
phone user, on most services, pays for ALL airtime used by the phone whether 
the call is incoming or outgoing.  In many cases, service plans include more 
minutes than ever get used, so it could be said that there is no charge for 
calls, but in reality the minutes ARE paid for.... so yes, the called number 
does indeed pay.
