For example my mobile 050-8787xxx is diverted to my Du number 055-8787xxx and I have to pay the diversion fees on the 050 number.

Can't be much I suppose. What about the call who pays.

Why are they picking on you? You seem helpful.

The original caller pays and the diverted number pays and yes it is like Etisalat is double charging for the call making money from both the caller and you for the divert. This is the bad side of diversion.

Actually I don't even know this: Does one pay for receiving calls or just for making calls (I mean with your regular mobile)?

As far as I know, only the caller pays, not the receiver. I guess in theory, though, the diverted phone is "making a call" to the next number, so who knows in this case. I do know that when my company forgets to pay my GSM bill, I can get calls and texts, but not make them.
