In the US, you pay the same to call a cell phone as you pay to call any
other phone. The callee pays for the airtime. This is a sensible
arrangement, as it allows for number portability and price competition.

Alas, Europe chose to pass the costs onto the caller, without even
making it reasonably possible for the caller to know whether he is
calling a cell phone or not! The Danish number plan in particular is
completely insane.
