With the exception of toll free numbers (originally just 1-800.. now 888, 877, 866, 855, and 844 in a few months), everything has geographic area based codes (prefixes are used within area codes).
But this is not the reason why you are charged to receive a mobile call. You are charged to receive a mobile call (unless you have unlimited or in a free period) because you are using the mobile network. If you don't want to pay for that, do not answer the call.
