When I used dial-up, local calls were free.
Not free. Included in your monthly phone line subscription.
Depends on region. In Australia, local calls (within the same state) were a flat $0.20 or $0.25, while interstate and mobile calls were billed by the minute.
I've heard that some Americans were billed for incoming calls too?? Crazy.
Yeah, definitely depends on year and location. But phone calls are never free. Maybe unlimited, but you still face a monthly bill at the very least.
