I sympathize with you, Lynne! I have always wondered by which logic various Telecoms around the world have decided that people on normal phones ringing a mobile had to pay extra!! After all, it's not my fault if someone I need to talk to prefers to own a mobile rather than a normal phone!! Why should I pay for his/her choice? And you can get really stung by trade people transferring their calls to a mobile without warning you! My parents in France got an enormous phone bill because they had to arrange repairs on a house in a different part of the country from where they live usually. They had to do it by phone, and didn't realize that every time they rang the guy's phone number, they were transferred to his mobile! And 80% of the time he wasn't there even to answer his mobile, but my parents had to pay for the connection!! Why don't we all revolt against that practice?
