Hello Vladimir. 05 May 06 11:07, you wrote to me: VD> I devide all calls on "local" (in one city), "intercity" (between VD> another cities in one country) and "international" (to another VD> country). VD> In Germany calls to another city have another tariff then local calls VD> in same (one) city, in Russia too. It used to be similar here, but the situation is changing. For cell phones there is no distinction between local calls and intercity calls, for the fixed phone it depends on the provider. My old provider KPN, the former monopolist, still has the distinction. My new provider, Casema, a cable company, has a uniform rate for national calls. OTOH, they give a discount for calls to their own customers. VD>>> Are your node call other by cell phone?

(2:2454/998) But I think he will get very few calls. Making calls *to* a cell phone is very expensive. VD>>> Or it receive calls from cell phone (and you have payment for VD>>> incoming calls)?
