for real meetings, if it is on existing contract I'm working on, I bill accordingly. If it is a meeting to get new work, then it is not billed and an overhead cost of doing (getting) business. For phone calls, it depends. I have a few clients that I'm working on their project when they call, so the time is already being billed to them. If it is just a quick question, then I just answer it and not charge.
