Telephone Question

[Twista]

Question:If someone calls a person long distance on a cell phone. Who gets charged?

You and the cell phone person?
Or
Just the cell phone caller?

 

[neutralizer]

Cell phone person I think.

 

[deadlyapp]

both.

Both unless the cell has free incoming.

Wait...I misread.

mixed answer =( I say both, but they saying only the long distance celler.

the LD people will only charge the land line caller. the cell person will be charged his standard incoming airtime.

if it is the guy with the cell phone making the call, the guy with the cell phone pays airtime and LD, and the guy with the land line gets charged whatever his per minute charge is for regular local calls.

Is it cell to cell?
Cell to landline? Landline to cell?

Whoever originates the call, the caller.

If you are calling a cell phone in another state, it will use their minutes. But they will not be charged extra, just regular normal cell phone minutes used.

where the hell are you people saying "both" from?

In the US, the originator pays for the call (unless it's collect)
and most cell plans are free long distance (unless you like a UFIA)

With most of the cell phone plans I've seen:

Long distance call from Landline to Cell = Both charged, unless cell has free incoming
Long distance call from Cell to Landline = Only Cell charged, unless cell has free outgoing or long distance, in which case cell is only charged nothing or normal rate, depending on its plan.
If you are calling a land line from a cell, the land line cannot be charged, unless that landline happens to be routed from an 800-type number.
