I don't get how the american billing system works for phones
How on earth do phone companies get away with charging for a call twice?! The sender initiates the call/sms, and they should be the ones that pay for it!!
My cell phone bill would be through the roof if i paid for what i received

Yep and it's always been like that.
Some of the companies are starting the deal where if you call someone else who has the same cell service the call is free for both of you.
Do you have one phone company for landlines in AU or several? I suspect that's where it gets dicey. We have so many different once (3 or so just in a 50 mile radius of my house) that getting billing in place for someone to call from a landline to a cell might be tricky. I've heard rumors they are going to start charging the caller only, but I've been hearing that for a few years.
