Charge for Incoming Calls??

Does att familytalk charge you minutes for incoming calls? what about other carriers?

Except for Sprint/Nextel with certain plans, all United States national wireless carriers charge for incoming calls according to what rate period is in effect at the time the call is received. There may be exceptions to this. Other carriers may exempt calls to and from certain numbers from charges. You will have to check the website of regional carriers to see what their policies are.

If you are with AT&T then calls within the network do not take away from your paid minutes. Only calls to land lines and to other carriers do when you talk during peak hours.

I wonder what is going to happen when Cell Phone Numbers are released to the public and businesses begin to call with sales calls. Are we going to be charged for those?

i dont think cell phone numbers will ever be released to the public. thats illegal and will always be.
