Mobile operators in emerging nations (what we used to refer to as "the third
world" in less politically correct times) do worry about such things since
their customer base tries to work around them. In low-income areas like
Africa with "caller pays" systems, people using prepaid "flash" each other-
call and hang up immediately to avoid being charged for calls, and hope to
get the other person to call them back (on their dime) when they see the
missed call in their phone's log.
