Huh, I thought it was in certain countries you wouldn't get charged for accepting long-d calls but others you do...and we're part of the first. I forget though, some facts would be good to know.

really? this is canada and the cellular providers are a joke, so i would think that they are going to charge you unless you have a special plan that says otherwise.

As long as you are in your local area..which for most of us is the gvrd..then receiving any calls will not have extra charges..whether its long distance or not..it will only take away airtime in your plan, so if u have unlimited incoming then talk all u want, if its long distance then the person calling u would be paying the charges..once u leave ur local area then its a different ballgame

I phoned Rogers last week about this cause I have a friend travelling in Europe. If you are still in the GVRD and pick up the call from them (overseas), you will NOT get charged. If you phone them and still dialing the same 604/778 number and they pick up, they get charged for accepting your call.
I'm still going to wait for the next bill cycle to see if that CSR was right...

when you say accepting a call, do you mean accepting a collect call or just answering the phone?

.....i dont think receiving LD calls have ever been charged! And i think it's like that for almost all places. it's the call initiator that incurs charges....well...unless it's a collect call.
