Another reason why I wouldn't want to charge on incoming calls in that manner is that caller-ids often get scrambled. I don't want to tell you how many UK calls I've received from "Bermuda," e.g. area code "441." In 2014, Central Illinois gets area code 447 so all my UK mobile calls will be "coming" from Springfield, Illinois or something. I've also when using Piranha or Telna received some caller-id like +4412125551212 where the caller was actually calling from +1-212-555-1212. The question is whether Three has figure this problem out yet or not.

As carriers start rolling out VOLT, I'm also curious whether this becomes irrelevant. It will all be a data call.
