You're paying for airtime -- the convenience of having a phone not hard-wired to the wall; a phone that can be used anywhere, and receive calls anywhere.  Airtime costs no matter who originated the call; it therefore makes sense to charge for it either way.  Many of us have phones that don't charge for the first minute of an incoming call, so if it's a wrong number you can get rid of him and it doesn't count against your airtime allowance.
