What is the origin of the popular 15?
Keep in mind that at the time cell phones were born, there was no 15. If you call from one cell phone to another, the caller pays for the call made and the receiver pays for the incoming call. That is, both paid. The same thing happened when you called from a classic landline phone to a cell phone, the landline phone paid for the outgoing call and the cell phone paid for the incoming call. This kind of charge is called MPP (Mobile Party Pays) and means that the value of the call is divided between the person who starts the call and the person who receives it. However, to encourage the use of cell phones, a new billing service called CPP (Calling Party Pays) was created in 1997, which means that whoever initiates a call from a landline to a cell phone pays the full amount. To distinguish them, the number 15 was created. Whoever called customers who had the CPP system had to dial number 15 first and then the subscriber’s number. In this way, all those who communicated with a cell phone that began with the number 15 had to assume the value of the call.
This measure was based on the need to promote and publicize the use of telecommunications services in a competitive manner, with smart mobile cellular telephony being an alternative service to the basic telephone service.
