the caller should pay for a call based on the phone *they* use, not the
type of phone the recipient chooses to use.

under no circumstances should a caller be surcharged because the number
they're calling happens to be a mobile (or worse, satellite). that's
just stupid.

if someone wants to use a mobile phone, then *they* get to pay any
airtime or other associated costs for that choice. do not charge the
caller or anyone else for that matter.
