I know what you mean. I still do not consider it free, especially if the
monthly fee is significant. After all someone paying per minute could
well pay less than someone who gets the calls "free" is the base fee is
lower.
If there were such deals here I bet many would keep the lines open just
because they could. There are people who let the water run for no reason
but because they do not have a water meter. We used to have a system
where one was charged per call. Some companies abused it by keeping a
modem line constantly open so they switched to per minute billing first
on day time and then on evenings and weekends also.
When you call to a mobile do you understand that the receiver pays and
do not speak for too long? Or do you not care at all what your calls
cost to others. I personally think the caller pays is fair as the caller
then knows to speak briefly enough. Of course there are rude people who
start babbling their own when someone calls them so that the person does
not even get to say what he intended.
