In the EU, the mobile user pays /min for outgoing, but the caller pay$ 
for to-mobile calls.

Good Question.

I know a while ago the EU dropped the hammer on outrageous intra-EU 
roaming charges [ie: German user goes to France, makes a call, $$$] so 
the carriers quickly found other ways to be greedy. One was multiplying 
charges for terminating inbound calls from outside the EU.

But I have no idea why they have flipped. I know Callcentric uses 
Bandwidth on their back end, and would guess that's who hosts their EU 
calls, but that's a guess.

Here's Google Voice's rates <https://voice.google.com/u/0/rates>

Denmark - Landline 	$0.02
Denmark - Mobile 	$0.02
Denmark - Premium	$0.70
Denmark - Shared Cost	$0.01
Denmark - Special Services $0.01
Denmark - Toll Free 	$0.01
Denmark - Universal Access $0.01

So maybe you want to look at Google Voice.

Or ask CallCentric why they are so uncompetitive...
