If someone calls your cell from another country does it cost money?
If YOU are the one RECEIVING the phone call from another country, the only cost will be your airtime minutes, not an international rate or anything. If YOU are the one MAKING the call to another country...it will cost you an eye and a leg (just kidding!!), you have to look into your cellphone company to see what rates they have for that country, but I can tell you that it is way to expensive. What you can do is buy a "Phone Card" and it is cheaper than doing it directly from your phone.

What is the cost if someone calls me in the US from another country?
I have a friend living in the United Arab Emirates who wants to call me directly from his cell phone. My AT&T Motorola razor phone is part of a family/business phone plan here in the U.S.A. that is not in my name, so I never see the bill. I have a large bucket of free minutes per month nationwide. Will, it cost me anything beyond that monthly bucket of free nationwide minutes to receive a phone call directly from my friend's cell phone from the United Arab Emirates while I'm still in the U.S. with my U.S. based AT&T phone (without roaming on my part)? Is the answer the same with all AT&T wireless /cell phone plans or just certain ones? I read a post on here back from 2008 that says that all received calls in the U.S. (not roaming out of the U.S.) on AT&T phones based in the U.S. from anywhere are treated the same, but I want to make sure that this is still true in 2010. Should I ask my friend to use a prepaid calling card to avoid extra fees on my end, or would that even make a difference for me on my end? Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.

When you miss call someone from another country do you get charged for that?
do you mean that you accidentally called an international number ? (you will be charged international call cost) do you mean some one called you from another country and you didn't answer so they left a voice message to which you called your service provider to listen to the recording (you will be charged a local call)
Can you text/call people in other countries?
Yes you can text and call others from 2 different countries and yes it will cost more than usual. I can't say for sure how much it costs, but I remember it being really expensive so I do not recommend to talk a lot through the phone or texting through different countries since it'll cost you loads of money. Like for me when I was in Turkey and was going to call to Sweden I think they took like 2 dollars or something like that.
In Australia, will it cost more if you make phone calls to a phone number opened in another city?
The answer is actually very complex and very simple at the same time. Historically Australia was the same, every city (area) had a 2 or 3 letter number code, if you dialled that number you were going to be paying by the minute. (As an aside, as a teen I would sometimes call Melbourne, my mum would be very carefully watching the clock, at the 3 minute mark "Times up, say good bye!")However in recent times these codes have been simplified to the following to the following However just because I don't have to use an area code doesn't mean I won't pay extra. Local calls, are at a fixed rate, national calls are slightly more expensive, but (at least with Telstra are capped to a maximum $3/night). The problem is what is a local call and what is a national call can be difficult to work out.However given that phone calls today are so cheap compared to what they use to be even 30 years ago most people don't care and just dial the number regardless of the cost.
How much money does it cost to call 911 (in the United States)?
911 is paid by the taxpayer when you need the police. When you call for an ambulance, you have to reimburse for the cost of the ambulance. If you can't afford the bill, it just gets tacked on your credit report. They don’t care if you have money until after your at the hospital, and will NEVER decline to help based on non payment. Obviously, health insurance can help with this. I believe it's about $500 these days For the uninsured. My health insurance would cover it. If it's a serious medical emergency, the fire department will send out a crew to acompany the ambulance, free of charge.
Why is it expensive to call mobile numbers in UK from other countries?
The same reason why it’s expensive to call mobile numbers in other countries from different countries, or in other words - international calling is expensive if done traditionally. There are ways to get around this, of course, but I’ll talk more about that later.It's all down to the cost of termination.Let's say you want to dial a UK mobile number from your mobile in the US.You key +44 xxxxx in your mobileYour mobile provider terminates the call on its international gateway providerThe international gateway terminates that leg of the call on its counterpart in the UKThe UK counterpart terminates that leg of the call on the number range providerThe block-owner of the number range terminates that leg of call on the mobile phone (the call is finally answered)Every single leg of the calls' journey is charged by the various terminating parties. Your actual mobile phone provider has to cover each of these charges + a percentage markup to make money.Using made-up costs and working backward:UK Number range owner charges the UK international gateway $0.10 who charges US International Gateway $0.20 who charges your mobile phone company $0.30 who finally charges you $0.10 + $0.20 + $0.30 + 50% = $0.90 per minuteThis is the most direct way but the bit in between the US international Carrier and the UK international carrier may go between many other carriers for a cheaper price, which may or may not be passed down to the customer.International Carriers buy minutes off other carriers by offering lower termination prices. So if you're getting a good connection during a certain time of the day and a bad connection at other times, the international carriers have routed your call through cheaper, lower quality connectionsCheaper options might exist with various VoIP service providers. Some are even free. I personally use Hottelecom and can safely recommend them to anyone looking. If you want to call UK specifically, then all you need to do is get one of their Virtual Numbers and you’ll be good to go. It costs only a fraction of what it would if you called traditionally and is a great utility for stuff like this.
