Calling UK from USA

[REAPERofWAR7]

if you are in america and you call someone from the UK does the person in the UK get charged aswell?

No.

Residential landlines are never charged for incoming calls, irrespective of their country of origin. (The same applies to business landlines unless they're using something like an 0800 number).

Mobile phone tariffs only charge for incoming calls when the phone is used outside of its 'home' country. (So a UK resident, receiving a call from the USA on his mobile would not be charged. A US visitor to the UK, using his American cellphone here, would be charged for all incoming calls, including those from the USA).

But I am speaking of mobiles do you know about mobiles?

[Buenchico]

Er, I thought I'd answered that in my final paragraph! ;-)

If you receive any incoming call on a mobile phone in the UK (irrespective of whether it's from the UK or abroad or whether it's from a mobile or a landline) you will never be charged for the call as long as the phone receiving the call is registered to a UK account. (i.e. If Joe Bloggs from London visits the USA and phones his mate, Fred Arkwright, who's still in London, Fred won't be charged for receiving the call on his mobile. But if Hiram T Wartheimer, from New York, visits London he'll be charged for all incoming calls on his mobile phone, whether they're from his mother in New York or his friend in Brighton).
