Bbob - Agree that his name and/or sig line should indicate his connection w. the company. I should have realized you weren't in the U.S. when I made the "fair use" comment.
"Fair use" has been a common clause in many areas here, forever. Eg. Landline companies put in that clause decades ago to prevent users from installing equipment that could compromise the system. Internet providers have long put that in to prevent a user from "over using" system resources 24/7. ATT, T-Mobile and some smaller GSM carriers all have roaming agreements with each other. Roaming is limited to areas your native carrier doesn't cover. They all have clauses that if you are using a disproportionate amount of your minutes off your home carrier's network they can terminate your service. This is rarely done, but there have been posts on various forums where it has happened.

John247 - Welcome to the forum.
You are wrong in your statement that no one makes money on incoming calls. The IOM provider that is used in this case is cleaning up. I have always assumed that the LARGE termination costs imposed by virtually all carriers outside the U.S., Canada and a few other countries all go to the carriers. Somebody can correct me if i'm wrong. As I mentioned above, it would be more fair if they shared some of that largess w. "resellers" like you. Unfortunately they don't.
We in the U.S. are spoiled in that it costs no more to call a cell phone than a landline. We can get unlimited calling, incoming/outgoing for under $100/mo. T-Mobile includes unlimited SMS w. that. Discount carriers that only cover limited geographical areas charge $40/mo. for unlimited voice. An ever increasing number of Americans have given up their landlines. You "foreigners" couldn't do this.
The fact that overseas cell carriers charge 10 times (or more) than a landline to terminate a call seems outrageous to most Americans.
I should mention extra charges for long distance within the U.S. have all but disappeared.
End of rant.
