Phone line question?

Question

Someone called me from another state and of course, I answered. He told me that it will charge me alot of money because he's calling from a public line, and since I picked up on my house phone; I'll be charged. Is this true? Or does it depend on your phone plan?

Answer 1

He can't reverse charges without your consent so there would have been an operator ask if you accept the charge.

Answer 2

You are not charged for incoming calls unless it is a collect call and you accept (verbally) the charges. Have a nice day!

Answer 3

it proabley depends on your phone plan if it was out of state why would you answer?

thats weird someone called you!

Answer 4

I think your caller is spoofing you.

Don't worry, unless you accepted the charges.

If for some unknown reason charges appear on your bill call your Telco's billing office and complain.
