There's a newer cell provider here called Centennial that's been advertising free incoming calls. Don't know how widespread they are, but new to the Lansing, MI area.

 

[randomlinh]

wait, what service are you using to get that? I thought w/ prepaid, you're still stuck w/ a minimum over a period of time, or some bull they try to pull.... and incoming minutes should have always been free... too bad it don't work that way.

Prepaid seems a lot more expensive..at least the one that I've seen..

interesting deal. it sucks not be able to call out though.

i guess you could say i have the same plan then, as work pays for my cell. i use it as much as i like. $0 out of my pocket.

All calling plans are different. My wife has free incoming calls from anyone/anywhere but others have free in and out if they are from the same company. It all depends on your carrier.

yeah, but it's cool that i can not buy credit when i'm broke and don't need it (at uni and living with my gf )), when i'm working on the farm or over east i always have credit tho.

I get free incoming calls with Nextel.

 

[her209]

I get free incoming and outgoing calls after 9PM.

Think people would lynch the phone companies here if they started to charge for incoming calls.
