Or texts. And the world is good. Admittedly our plans apparently aren't the cheapest in the world, but it certainly seems to make a lot more sense that the cost of a call being placed on the recipient. It really doesn't seem to have impeded network development... Not any more than having just two service providers has anyway. I do dream of the day we evolve sufficiently to be granted all inclusive/unlimited plans though... /wistful :) Here in lil’ ol’ New Zealand, there is no cost for incoming calls. Or texts.
