Well, thatīs only normal. Incomming calls ARE free in almost the whole world, with the exception of very few countries.

I wouldn't place big bets on that lasting forever. The number of countries where the associated brand Toggle has free incoming calls has dropped from over 140 to about 60 to just over 20, with some more with zero per minute plus a connection fee

I was refering to 3GSM-nets in general. Very few of these nets have fees for incomming calls. I know only of the nets in two countries, Canada and USA, but there are perhaps more.

The situation for international prepaids differ. They have to make money in different manners.

Most seem to be 30 cents a minute incoming now. I think they started up the website before they had finished filling in the rates.

Yes, that seems to be the matter for Lycamobile US. I was mainly stating that 3GSM-nets very seldom charge for incomming calls, but some international prepaids differ in that sense.
