Hi,

I am thinking about buying a T-Mobile Easy Speak Card. Is it true, that I
lose minutes when I receiving a call on this (or even all prepaid) card(s)??
This would be totally different to Germany.....

Thanks
Duane

Yes. You pay for all calls incoming or outgoing. However, anyone
calling you does not pay a premium as is the case in Europe. Someone
always pays for the airtime. In the US the person who pays for the
airtime is the called party whereas in Europe the mobile customer only
pays for outgoing calls and the caller to the mobile pays the cost of
the call.

Here in the USA, all calls are charged minutes from your "bucket". This is
unlike most of the rest of the world where incoming calls are free.
