Question by Jessica: Does using a calling card cancel out charges for the person recieving the call, or just the caller?
If I’m recieving a long distance call, and the person calling uses a phone card to call, can I still be charged?

I plan on recieving calls from Ontario, Canada, to California. My phone plan is with AT&T/Cingular, if that matters.

Answer by swtaznchicababe
you will be billed “airtime” or “minutes”, if your phone you’ll be receiving the call is on a cell phone. if it’s a land line, or something that does not charge per minute, then you won’t be billed for anything. other than that, you won’t incurr any long distance charges or anything. only the person making the phone call is responsible for “paying”.

Best answer:

Answer by Heinz M
If you call ‘mobiles’ overseas you’ll always get screwed. ~
Try to call land lines only.
I have a VoIP phone with free calling to 21 countries. But to cells in those countries the charge can be over 30 Cents/min.

Question by DRSOGR: Will I be charged for the call at the hotel if I use a calling card?
I am going to the middle of knowhere for 2 weeks. I did some research and the area is roaming through my cell phone. Looking at the hotel online, it says that local calls are free for up to 30 minutes. Would a calling card constitute the same type of thing? As it would be like a 1-800 number?

Best answer:

Answer by Randy B
Shouldn’t have to pay the hotel anything but then again they may have rules and charges that they want to charge anyway. When in doubt…ask before making the call.
