Never thought about it, but I didn't expect they have to pay for calls. Would think that they just have limited time for them.
In many places, either they or the one contacting has to pay. And the prices and fees are outrageous.
$5 to load money on, even if you’re only loading on $20. The calls are charged by the 15 minute and range in cost all the way up to over $14.
It is absolutely insane.
That's how it used to be until the capitalists realized there was money to be made
