Here is a weird little blip in those pre-paid cell phone plans: They generally charge the user for the minutes used when calling a toll-free number. Same for incoming calls. I have always used pre-paid, mostly by the minute (though not always), because it winds up generally cheaper than any of the plans they offer as I don't use it much and never have. It was never really an issue with some companies, but I'd use a google Talk number for companies that tended to put places on hold. This stuff didn't change until I switched countries: I'm pretty sure toll-free numbers are actually toll-free and I no longer get charged for incoming calls/texts, which means my pre-paid time lasts longer.
