In our work on teleuse@BOP, reports on the use of missed calls attracted a great deal of attention. It seems to be generating even more press at the MobileActive conference in South Africa:
While exotic, it’s not really the optimal way to communicate. Will the recent trends to bucket pricing, per-second billing and low, low prices ring the death knell of missed calls, at least in countries where the budget telecom network model is at work?

I doubt missed calls will disappear. As 143s in Philippines it is a part of Sri Lankan culture now. An ideal case study for somebody interested in sociological and psychological aspects of mobile communication.
