Except US, GSM incoming calls are free? Right?

I was wondering if I receive a call on my AWS cell phone in Mexico, is it
free incoming because its on Telcell's network, or only if I have a local
sim card? What I hope to do is set up a VOIP forward to my cell if it is a
free incoming call?

No, AFAIK, since you would be roaming and on ATT tariffs. If you had a
Telcell SIM it would be different.

AFAIK all of North America except for Cuba is called party pays. If
you're an AWS subscriber you'll pay dearly to receive calls in Mexico.
You'll pay the per minute rate for a call delivered to Mexico from the
US for any calls you receive on your US service while in Mexico.

Thanks All,

I'll stop in Tijuana and get a local prepaid sim, then forward my calls from
my VOIP line to the cellphone's new Mexican number. Now if I could get 2 FXS
boxes very cheap....

I did get my text messages free in Mexico on ATTws.

That's great, but the question was about *calls* not text messages!

I think it is also free incoming Martinique, St Pierre/Miquolon, and Brazil.
