That's ridiculous. All they give you is the price without taxes?? We don't see anything like that almost anywhere in Europe.
Besides we have rechargeable cards. You charge it with watever and whenever you want to spend.
Is prepaid your only option in there??
I understand why this happens. Because your cellphones have the same numbers as a home "fixed phone" or wharetever you call it. In here cellphones have different prefixes and people know they are paying more to call them but whoever receives a call doesn't pay just for receiving.. It makes much more sense. I have a cellphone and I charge it with 7.5â(euro) and it takes months before I spend it. I don't use the cellphone much of course. And if I had to spend a lot more I wouldn't even have one. If I used it a lot I would probably have one tariff in which you charge it with 10â a month and you get unlimited calling/sms and 3G calls to whoever has the same tariff.
In fact here in Portugal most young people use SMS a lot because most of them have free SMS and of course no one pays for receiving SMS. And there's a lot of advantages in places where you can't talk for example.. but to pay just for receiving is absurd lol. I can't understand how can they do such thing in the US where things are usually much cheaper than in Europe...
