The Canadian Approach

Cellphone fees in Canada predominantly follow the US model. In the early days, one carrier, Bell Canada, experimented with offering secondary phone numbers that had a special prefix and where the calls were charged to the landland caller. However, they were quickly canned. What I find interesting now is that due to competition, 2 of the 3 cellular carriers offer at least one plan that includes free, unlimited incoming calls (without the ability to charge back the call to the landline caller).
