I thought this one was a windup but no.... In the US, spammers can
now legally call your mobile and YOU pay for the call! What the ****
is the matter with these Yanks?


Erm, I think you will find that it is an urban myth.


Sounds like it, or there'd be a massive class-action lawsuit in the offing!

So what is the difference between that and UK receiving, for example,
unsolicited "Jokes" on their mobiles for which they have to pay?
