Most countries' mobile numbers have a higher termination rate (e.g. UK landlines ~2-3 cents Canadian for me to call; UK mobiles 17-50 cents for me to call). The caller is paying a higher rate because a large part of the rate difference goes to the mobile network provider to pay for the airtime. The mobile phone owner does not pay because the caller is paying.

On a US or Canadian number, the termination rate is the same as for a landline so there is no differential to pay to the mobile provider. The mobile phone owner pays because the caller is not paying.

Someone has to pay for incoming calls. In most countries in the world the caller pays. In Canada and the US, as well as a few other countries, the callee pays.
