(At least in Britain, that is so). Who pays message units for incoming calls in Britain? Where did you get this information? I'm 99.44% sure you're 100% wrong. In the U.K., even cellular phone subscribers don't have to pay for their incoming calls (as we do here); the landline caller pays a higher rate when calling either Cellnet or Vodaphone (the two nationwide companies) numbers. which all begin with 0850 or 0836. /john
