Different call rates to US/Canada mobiles Vs Landlines

Bossman, can you confirm that you are actually charged only $0.05 to call UK landlines from USA with FreeGlobalSIM? If so, that is cheaper than most USA-based prepaid cards! I have a feeling that rate is incorrect, especially since they are charging $1.63 to receive calls in USA.

I think it's wrong too. But, as I mentioned I have not tested it, but Travis at freeGlobalSim said it's correct. Since it's not listed on their call rates, I made a call to my UM sim and was dinged $2.80. I had my UM sim with me and it did not connect or ring. Anyway....

Out (SIM) 13079816 22-Jun-07 22:47 United States [USA] 423663009XXX USSD 447624129XXX US$ 2.80
From United States [USA] 447624129XXX 0:00:09 US$ 1.9100
To 423663009XXX 423663009XXX 0:00:09 US$ 0.890

I have noticed for quite some time many sites give diff. rates for U.S. land v. cellular. I assume that' because their rate calculator programs automatically add a figure to land rates to come up w. cell rates. Obviously there is no diff. in rates.

Hmm. Just occurred to me that maybe they can tell if a number is a cell. I think you can still make collect calls to landlines - but never could to cell.

I use an LG G6, wife an S7) A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
