I have to correct you there. It's very rare in the UK to get charged for any incomming call.
I've only heard of it for international calls involving mobiles (cells for you non-brits)
The "scandelous" thing our companies brought in was to charge extra to call another network and to have credit with an expiry date. These are ancient now. Call credit almost always lasts for ever and most companies offer plans with the same charges no matter who you call.
