Charged for incoming international call

Hello,

 

If someone from Germany calls me here in the US, do I get charged international rate,even though I am just the receiver of the call?

Figured out how to attach. It was the 216 (Cleveland area code) that was an incoming call charged as International. It was hard to get a wider shot off my phone but if anyone can decipher, I'd appreciate it.

Very strange because on one screen it shows that call being 427 minutes but on the bill you were charged for a minute of international long distance. I just wonder if someone found a hack to place international long distance calls and charge them to another number. Perhaps that happened when you answered that call. Otherwise, it has to be a billing error.

This just happened to my son as well!  Why oh why are we getting charged for answering a call?  The person making the call is already getting charged.  For us it was a wrong number but because he answered, they said the call was 1 minute and charged us.  Absolutely asinine to charge us for that!

I am on with an ATT rep now and being told the same thing. If an international number calls an American AT&T number, AT&T will charge the recipient of the call at international rates.

If the AT&T user is out of the country, then yes you'll pay for international calls (and calls from the US); but BECAUSE you are out of the country.

No Gary. That is NOT what is happening.

The receiver (AT&T Customer) is IN THE USA. The caller is OUTSIDE the USA.

Receiver is getting charged by AT&T.

We are not talking about Roaming charges here. We are simple talking about people answering their phones from an international call and being billed for it.

I just got off the phone with AT&T.  If you are looped in on a 3 way call initiated by someone else overseas it will charge you as if you initiated the call. AT&T needs to fix this flaw. They were understanding and removed the call charge
