Beijing mobile phone users to get free incoming calls

Beijing Mobile, part of China's largest mobile phone operator, plans to dramatically slash its mobile call fees in early February with a monthly package based on a one-way billing scheme.

The caller-pays scheme, in which incoming calls are free for the person who receives the call, has been welcomed by China Mobile and China Unicom subscribers in pilot areas in Guangdong, Shanghai and Tianjin, allowing the companies to reinforce their position in the market.
