I have heard that calls from cellphones to landlines in the UK are charged to the landline. Is this true? If so, do the charges also apply to calls to the UK from a US cellphone? If I use a calling card with my cellphone, does that make a difference?

Guess I need to clarify:
I live in the US and am calling FROM MY cellphone.
My friend lives in the UK and does NOT have a cellphone; he has a regular phone in his house (landline).
When I call him directly from my cellphone, he gets an extra charge on his phone bill. But if I call him from my house phone, he is not charged.
Can somebody in the UK confirm this?

No No. You never pay to receive calls in the UK. This is pretty much true for all other countries apart from the USA.
The only exception is if you are roaming with your cell phone. In this case you pay for an international call leg if you are receiving the call.

calling cards may not make a difference but some uk cellphones work just like they do over here, if you receive a call you may get charged depending on your cell plan
