As I understand it, the reason the German system costs more is that you
don't pay to receive calls in Germany.  This means that when you call from
the US, you pay both your long distance charges and their cell charges.

Apparently, this policy has made tele-marketing rather rare there.  Amen to
that! 

Regards,
Rob

We try to avoid calling cell phones in Germany as the phone company over
there has figured out a way to charge A LOT OF MONEY when you call a
German cell phone from America.

Also, you didn't say which country you were going to visit.
