I bought a prepaid phone line and only receive calls without topping up credit, and I was told that this is cheating the company because they sell on a monthly payment basis. I see that the company did not stipulate anything and I paid for the line, and since I do not top up, I also do not call.

"If the company charges establishment fees in return for operating the phone line and providing a free call-receiving service, and does not charge any other fees except for the cost of outgoing calls, then there is nothing wrong with what you did, and you are not obligated to call others. However, if the company requires monthly fees for operating the line for outgoing and incoming calls, then it has the right to collect these fees, even if the phone owner does not make calls, because the fees are for an existing benefit. Applying the answer to reality depends on the instructions and regulations of the telephone operating company in your country.
