Does the originator of the call pay as well? Yup, and it depends. The way cell phones work here is there's no difference to a caller whether they are calling a landline or cell (in fact there's no easy way to tell whether a number is a landline or cell, they all use the same area code), they pay the same rate (local calls from a landline are unlimited free in most cases). So, to cover the cost the receiver pays. When a cell phone user calls any number they pay as well.
