Calling a US number when they are overseas results in charge
My son called someone at their US number when they were traveling overseas. I just got a notification that T-mobile charged us $3/minute for the call… $65 for a 23 minute call between two US phone nu...

HickoryJunction and fireguy_6364: Yes, I understand that I would be charged if I'm calling from another country to here. I'm talking about calling from the USA to someone else who is abroad (but who has a USA cell phone number).
This is bizarre. Can you go to your account records online and confirm the details of the call? Some foreign carriers assign roamers a temporary local number that can be used as long as you roam their network. (This happened to me in Indonesia.) You can give that number to your local contacts so they don't have to call the USA to reach you. Could it be he called such a temporary local number. If he called the US number and T-Mobile won't correct it, I'd complain to the FCC.
