Yeh, the only cell company that allows free incoming used to be nextel, I don't even know if they do that anymore... and it's defiantely a no on the prepaid side of things (Prepaid Nextel is through Boost Mobile, a former employer of mine, go fig).
I use VOIP myself as well; Vonage (funny commercials), I can call internationally for free to a lot of countries hehe
I have never understood this - unless it is more to do with roaming in the US - we have to pay for incoming if we are abroad - but never in our own country.
Seems unfair to have to pay for dodgy, nuisance or sales calls
