The title is confusing. To dial any local/national landline no. you need to dial 0 as well!

Probably referring to the 082, 072, 084, 083, etc.
To dial a land line you have to dial 0 too, e.g. 012, 011, 013.

In any case, it is interesting to note that the cellphone companies are too set in their ways, and doesn't want to introduce revolutionary new packages in order to get the people to make more calls.

Poor people will still spend on a cellphone. which for them is a necessity, but they talk for shorter periods, meaning lower average spending per user.

It'd be interesting to see some stats on "Please call me's"...
