How does Long Distance work?

Say, someone is calling me from the US, whereas I live in Canada.

Would the person calling be charged? Or would it be a bothways kind of thing? It wouldn't be collect.

 

Person calling would be charged I believe.

 

Ofcourse the person calling always get charged, anytime someone picks up the phone and dials he gets charged.

 

The person calling is billed the long charges unless you specifically agree to accept the charges.

 

Person calling always would be charged depends , where,how much etc, but i am sure to say it would be charged !

 

Thanks to all.

 

If I have a mobile phone registered in denmark and somebody call me from denmark when I am in Germany I will pay for it. This is for mobile phones though.

 

Are they calling 1-800-666-1337??? Then you get charged since it's a toll-free-number!!!!

 

Are you using a cellphone or not you wouldn't be charged unless they called collect and you accepted it

 

Wouldnt it have to say that I gotta accept collect call?

I am using my phone, but no collect message.

 

Yes, an operator will ask if you accept collect call, if you dont do that you dont pay.

 

yeah you wont be charged. anyway if you would like to make a call back to that person, you can use the internet call which is much cheaper than a landline call XD like Skype they will charged you like 0.02$ per minute to make a call from Canada to US. great idea right?

 

Since it would not be collect,you do not have to pay for the charge,but the person who calls you have to pay the charge.

 

It is always the calling party pays. Unless you are using a cell phone and you have migrated to a new area where your incoming calls are charged, you have no liability to pay for answering the call
