USA SIM Card

Couldn't seem to find the answer to this anywhere! I'm looking to buy a USA SIM card from eBay and I was just wondering...

- Do AT&T or T-Mobile charge for receiving incoming calls?
- Which network is cheapest for data?

    Both charge for receiving calls, are you talking pay as you go? i don't think t-mobile do prepaid data, not sure about at&t.
  • I have always used Virgin mobile when in the US.
    Their phones don't use sim cards so you would have to buy one of their phones but they are cheap although I think they were all designed for teenagers!
    The basic plan is $0.20 cents per minute PAYG nationwide [no roaming charges]
    Data plans are also available

    Usually US cell phones charge for incoming call and texts.
