Operators within individual networks would sometimes have cost-sharing arrangements, but it was also common for people to volunteer to pay for regular toll calls either out of generosity, or to build their status in the community.
Operateri unutar individualnih mreža su ponekad imali dogovore za podelu troškova, a takođe je bilo uobičajeno da se ljudi sami prijave da plate regularnu cenu poziva, bilo iz darežljivosti ili da bi izgradili status u zajednici.
