This double billing is illegal even in Brazil. I was quite surprised when I bought a prepaid SIM card in the US and discovered (the hard way) that I'd be charged to receive calls and SMSs.However, in absolute values, we pay here ~50 dollars for 320 monthly minutes, 60 SMSs, 60 MMSs and 250 data (this is a new plan with VERY good bang for the buck). I guess we're all screwed in different ways by our telcos...
in America we pay for incoming calls and the caller also pays for the call, same with texts incoming texts are not free and if your not careful you can rack up a huge bill by just receiving texts

Dugg down because this is applicable to all cellphones on AT&T and, imo, pretty common for all cellular contract plans.
