Cell phone plans

[trinket 30]

If he calls me during my n/w min I'm not charged at all. and I don't get charged for his text or for me to text him. Sorry that you do/or someone you know that does..

Just don't understan why on earth in USA, they charge for incoming calls and incoming text messages

I am not much of a phone person, but still charging for incoming is sooo wrong.

Yup, if I call my husband on his cell phone he does get charge, also my father inlaw, but with my FIL, I can call him during 7pm to 7am his time and it doesn't cost him his minutes.

Because people are willing to pay for them.

If you don't want to be charged for incoming services, do not give out your phone number and/or keep your phone turned off unless making a call. Not too hard.

I have no choice to text him as it costs a lot to call to his country!

You have plenty of choice. You could not call! You could send e-mail. You could record a voice message and send THAT e-mail. You could use Skype....plenty of choices...you simply don't choose them.

Wow, Nigeria isn't as bad as some countries. Rebtel shows 9.9 cents to a landline, 19.9 to a Cell is a little high though.

Yeah, if you have broadband service calls can be cheap, I don't know if it's available. I agree about Cell calls both incoming and outgoing being charged sucks. It's always been that way in the US far as I know. Most other countries don't charge for incoming calls. Look out for outgoing though! I think it was a marketing test that went amok, or everyone would pay for both ways. It's a matter of bandwith no matter what, and paying for the investment.
