Initially, cell phone calls were rated on time, only, within the home coverage area, and time and distance, if the call terminated outside the home coverage area. What is a cell phone? Used in prisons? Like a mobile, but with the useful feature that the user pays for the inconvenience to everyone in earshot, rather than the caller. (US mobiles have numbers that look like ordinary landline numbers rather than being split off into a distinctive series, like our 07... numbers, so a US caller won't be aware from the number that they are calling a cellular phone.) -- Graham Nye news(a)thenyes.org.uk |
