I doubt it. Europe is all calling party pays, so if you can sneak
your calls into the cell network and avoid the termination fees, you
can save vast amounts of money. North America is all mobile party pays,
so calls to mobile cost the same as calls to landline. Indeed, with LNP
it's impossible to tell which numbers are mobile and which are landline
unless you have access to the LNP databases.
