I am surprised also to read free roaming inside the USA. Even when I was in the USa last year, receiving calls on a at&t card was charged 10 cents per minute. As far as I know it's common in the USa that you pay for incoming calls on you cellphone.

So I really wonder how they will make this work.

Yes, we pay for incomimg calls because we do not differentiate between landlines and mobiles. Hence, it does not cost anyone extra to call a US mobile vs a landline. So, I guess that cost is passed on to the the receiver of the call. It's capp receiving party Pays (RPP). You cannot look at a US phone number and determine if it's a landline or mobile.
