We used to pay to make and receive mobile calls a few years ago but
with the arrival of competition, that has changed. If we make a
mobile call to another mobile phone using the same provider, there is
no charge to the receiver. However if we make a mobile call to
another mobile on the competitors system, we all pay. At the
moment though, the mobile companies are vying to get service
contracts with the ex-pat pilot group and are willing to offer all
sorts of incentives including no charge to the receiver no matter
which company they are with. I have noticed our SMS is much
cheaper than in Oz.

clearly different to land-lines. At least that was the case 2 years
ago, and I
guess that Wendy can confirm this or otherwise.
