Apparently only the US and Canada charge the phone owner for incoming calls.

Europe, Asia, Australia etc all charge the caller.

This leads to awkward situations like when I called someone in the US and they were worried that they're going to get charged international rates for a call from abroad.

Wow, dick move. Getting charged for the incoming call is something I associate with getting ripped off by roaming call charges.
