receiving international calls from home while traveling - cost to caller

I am traveling abroad and have the international pass. I know I can call home with that plan, but if someone from home calls me, do they still have to pay for their call?

Thanks-

    I think the question may have been worded in a confusing way.

    When someone calls your number they will always be charged for calling a US domestic number. If that charge is $0.00 it will still be $0.00 even if you are in France or Japan. You are charged for placing or receiving calls while roaming abroad. That charge may be 25¢/min rack rates or 0¢/min if you have a data pass.

  • i think thats what they were wondering. if they are in for example Japan and someone from the states calls them will they be charged and vise versa if they call back to the U.S
