Re:Phone credit low? Africans go for "beeping" by zaidf on Wednesday October 17, 2007 @01:21AM (#68953)
From my experience of hanging out with friends in India, every conversation ends with something like "give me a missed call."

Though it originated as a way to save money especially for pre-paid mobile users, it has come to mean a whole lot of things now. ie. if you are to meet someone for coffee and he hasn't shown up yet, instead of calling you give him a missed call so he knows you're waiting.
