Bungle, just because we have a custom in this country doesn't mean it will be the same worldwide, so why the WTF?

Because an individual's spending should be entirely under their control, not under that of some random. Why should someone else have control over when another person's money is spent, especially when the recipient has no control over it? Doesn't that mean if someone calls you selling something you get charged? **** that. [thumbdown]

Again Bungle, the whole world doesn't operate the way it does here. Sure, most countries use non-geographical numbers for mobile/cellphones so you always need the area code but a few countries (the USA being one) use the same area codes for landlines and mobile/cellphones.

How can a mobile have an area code when it's not locked to a single location?

Oh, and I don't know why you get uptight whenever I express surprise at the strange goings on in foreign countries.
