Re: phone fun, was GeoIP database issues and the real world consequences

Where I live (Europe) most plans include a ton of free minutes including free calls and data in many other countries. Therefore nobody cares who pays anymore. While this is not universal yet, it probably will be within a decade. Voice calls are simply silly small amount of data that it does not make sense to charge for it and at the same time have gigs of free data included. Technically it is the receiver that pays the cell tax when accepting SIP calls. But nobody cares unless roaming in countries where you still pay data roaming tax at a rate that ought to be illegal.
