I hate cell phone companies, and their myriad of ways to get as much money out of you as possible. I found this in verizon's fine print:
"Charges for calls start when you press SEND or the call connects to the system. Charges stop when your call disconnects from the system, which may be a few seconds after you press END or the call is otherwise terminated. On incoming calls, charges begin when the call connects to the system, which may be before the phone rings or before you answer it." (emphasis mine)
That's such crap. I hate having a cell phone. That and their draconian 2-year contracts that get renewed every time you change your plan. ROBBERY. I can't wait until that contract is up. I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind.
