Thank you for your interest and kind words. You may find this paper of interest: http://cprsouth.org/sites/defa.....agasam.pdf. It pulls together the missed-call results from the 2006 study. There is also a good piece by Jonathon Donner: http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol13/issue1/donner.html

That is the very nature of pay-as-you-go plans. The more minutes you provide the less likely it is to happen.
The concept of mega plans, mobile-to-mobile, rollover and night/weekend minutes makes this practice obsolete in Amrika. But other than that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the system of missed calls, Indian or not.

On the other hand, if a study came out that said Indians seldom leave voicemails, I would be in full agreement. Since the concept of missed calls is not common in the US, it is pretty annoying when a desi friend calls you and doesn’t leaves a voicemail and then expects to receive a call in return.
