Only the person making the call gets long distance charges no matter what providers they use, right?

What if Person A’s using an iPhone? He wouldn’t have to pay extra charges for long distance calls?
Thanks in advance.
Most cell phone plans have long distance included in the plan unless you are on a local plan that is just for your area. Call your provider and clarify what plan you are on. Sometimes a service order code (SOC) is not entered or entered incorrectly on customer’s accounts . This can cause charges that should not be there.
It depends on the plans that the caller and receiver have, and whether the calls are happening on a land line and/or mobile phones.
Basically, if you have a land line, you only pay if you are making the call, not if you’re receiving it. And how much you pay depends on your long distance provider.
But if you have a cell phone, you pay the same whether you are making the call or receiving it. How much you pay depends on your plan. Usually long distance vs. local makes no difference; once again it depends on your plan though.
I hope I am understanding your question, but I have never heard of any long distance charges for calls made from a cell. There are ‘roaming’ charges if you are out of your plans area….which the phone would let you know if you are in roaming or not. The call will use your minutes, (unless it is free mobile to mobile or nights/weekend plan).
To answer your question whether cell or landline, the person recieving a call will never get charged long distance. They did not made the call, so there would be no reason for them to be charged for it.
It does not matter what ‘phone’ you use as in iPhone, etc. that matters. It is always about your carrier, and as I said, I have never heard of long distance charges for calls made from a cell phone.
