Best Answer

For most ordinary calls between two landlines, only the caller pays for any applicable call charges. For calls to a toll-free number, the recipient pays any long distance charges for the call, although the caller may still pay for airtime minutes if calling from a mobile phone.

For calls to a mobile phone (cell phone), it is more complicated. In most countries, the system is called "calling party pays." That means that the caller pays higher rates to call a mobile phone than to call a landline, but the mobile user pays nothing to receive a call. However, in some countries, most notably the USA and Canada, most mobile phones are on a system called "mobile user pays." Mobile phone numbers in the USA and Canada are indistinguishable from landline numbers, and the caller pays the same rates for both types of call, but the mobile user pays for airtime minutes for both incoming and outgoing calls, according to the mobile user's calling plan.

On all categories of call, though, there will be some revenue to the caller's service provider and some revenue to the recipient's service provider, but that revenue sharing is transparent to both the caller and the call recipient.
