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

No, I was wrong - cell phone users *are* charged for both incoming &
outgoing calls in the US - though probably cheaper overall than British
