Calling party
From Free net encyclopedia
The calling party is a person who (or device that) initiates a telephone call over the public switched telephone network. The person who (or device that) answers a telephone call is the called party.
The calling party is usually the party that pays the fee for placing the call, however in reverse charge (or collect) calls this may not be the case.
While roaming on an international network using a mobile phone, the calling party may need to pay an extra fee for the subsequent use of the overseas network.de:A-Teilnehmer
