Landlines charged for INCOMING calls?
My kid is visiting his girlfriend in Oahu, HI, and insists that even if WE call THEM on the landline (we have Verizon unlimited long distance), they'll get charged! WE never get charged for out of state calls (including ones from HI).
I say it sounds REALLY fishy!!! Any explanations...if they exist?! Is this family using another network that does this? DOES such a thing exist???? I'm getting worried!

This would be very very rare (although possible). Most likely they don't understand what they can and can't get billed for.

NO landline company charges for incoming calls!
if they are using a cell phone then they will be charged minutes for incoming calls...
and while I have so far never come across one, perhaps some internet based phone providers may charge for incoming calls as well as outgoing calls...
the only time where you would be charged for an incoming call on a landline is if the charges were reversed, such as a collect call...
