Hi all,

Thanks!

Photobum, please get all your facts real straight before you comment. In the US, all taxes are not included in the prices listed. That is a universal practice, applies to shopping, meals, services, on anything that is taxed.photobum said:No, this is not true. There are a lot of hidden charges. Let's say if your sevice plan costs US$29.95. By the time you receive your bill, your charges may come up to US$40, even if, let's say, you didn't use all your time.
Cheers!

There are some other small fees, perhaps, but the amount is not meaningful.
The voice cost in the US is the cheapest anywhere in the world. This is also one reason text messaging took so long to become popular, voice was cheap.
You also have to factor in that with majority of the voice plan, most mobile phone user in the US no longer has to pay for long distance, and if you get the right plan, there is no roaming charge, you can use your Houston based phone in Seattle, Boston, or even Hawaii, still no roaming, and that is a huge service area.
To OP. it's just something to get use to, just in singapore, free incoming, but in the US, free calls period during the off peak hours. It took me a while to get use to no free calls anytime, it will take you just a while to get use to no free incoming, but free calls during off peak.
