I'm still amazed that, in the US, the person being called on a mobile
phone has to pay for the call if someone calls or texts them. I'm on
Virgin Mobile here in the UK and, thankfully, we only pay for outgoing
calls and texts, as is the case on all of our other mobile phone
networks, such as 3, Vodafone, Orange etc ...

If someone were to call a mobile phone from a landline in the US, I
presume that they also pay for the call, right? So, is the cost of
the call split between the caller and the the person being called?
TIA!
