minus-square miniu ( @miniu@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink6•11 months agoNever thought about it, but I didn’t expect they have to pay for calls. Would think that they just have limited time for them.
minus-square KairuByte ( @KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) linkfedilink6•11 months agoIn many places, either they or the one contacting has to pay. And the prices and fees are outrageous. $5 to load money on, even if you’re only loading on $20. The calls are charged by the 15 minute and range in cost all the way up to over $14. It is absolutely insane.
