No… that isn’t why. Where I live both are rated the same which is to say, essentially free. We still don’t get this.

I’ll tell you what it actually is: American exceptionalism. Again we’re talking about a country so allergic to regulation that some poster above was talking about inbound fees. Yeah no, here we just regulate, and it works, and I’ve never had to think about it. Maybe just copy the working examples instead of being so dead set that it Won’t Work For Your Country.

I believe Swiss domestic calls are an order of magnitude more expensive than American calls.

If you had looked past the tld in the domain and clicked through, you’d have gotten my country right.

This is the internet equivalent of “don’t judge a book by its cover (or a website by its tld)” :)

Belgian mobile calls are about a third cheaper than American ones, on average, all costs included. (Sending costs remain remarkably low in the U.S.)
