Are you sure about this? I'm a new Cingular customer and have looked at the website and talked to quite a few customer service people about the per minute charges while abroad and no one has mentioned that most inbound calls from the U.S. are twice the stated per minute charge. I have seen where it is stated that retrieving voicemail while abroad is twice the per minute charge but not inbound calls.
