Does anyone know if it is possible to receive calls in the US or Canada when using the Global IMSI?

I was doing some tests recently and found that all calls to it go straight to voice-mail instead of ringing despite me being in an area with good coverage. I know one shouldn't be using the Global IMSI in the US due to the rates but I would think that it should still work should someone simple want to use that IMSI for whatever reason. It registers fine here on AT&T and T-Mobile (both 3G & 2G) so I expect it to work.

Also, does anyone know why unanswered calls that were placed from the US IMSI get charged 0.25 USD? This happened to me twice 2 days ago. I noticed no callback rings or anything like what happens when you place calls over the Global IMSI, so I figured you shouldn't be paying unless the call is answered.
