Yes, this is quite misleading. However, look, they count it in crowns/min, so it can't be just a 'single action'. Прием звонка can be considered as a continuous action too, it's like прием пищи (пища means food), which means the whole eating process since the start till the end. Anyway, this term in the modern 'cellular Russian' is VERY strange. This is always входящие звонки (incoming calls) and плата за входящие звонки, and nothing more. I guess it was may be an Estonian writer who had Russian as second language or just a sort of local Estonian dialect in Russian.
