In many European countries the caller pays for calls to cell
phones, not the callee. For instance, I can call a landline in
Finland via Skype for just a few cents per minute, but calling a
cell (mobile) phone costs over twenty cents per minute.
Unfortunately, most of my Finnish relatives seemed to have got
rid of their landlines in favor of cell phones.
However, if the person called is in Europe using a cell phone for
which the American caller calls a US number, the charge to the
caller should only be the intra-US charge since US cell phone
services do not charge the caller, and the callee would absorb
any additional charges, including international charges.
