Erm, I think you will find that it is an urban myth.
No, it's not. US mobile owners pay to listen to telemarketing calls, just
like all other calls. Unlike the system in the UK where you pay a
different rate to call a mobile the US charge the same for mobiles and
landlines but the reciever pays to receive the call if they're using a
mobile.
