I am assuming from your Subject: line that you are speaking about
charges for air-time on an unanswered or busy call.  My cellular
company does NOT charge for uncompleted calls.  My air-time charges
start at answer super- vision time, not at call placement time.  The
same applies for incoming calls, I am not charged for calls that I
don't answer.  Just FYI, my supplier is Cellular One.
