Thanks for responding. I don't understand what I am seeing. Where does this number 21cents come from. You do have US Number/SIM card. Since the rate for a minute is 17cents. Something is wierd/wrong. 30 seconds would be 9cents. Call them up and ask about it. It would not be the first thing in their system that is broke. This really looks nothing like my experience with six Tru SIMs activated. Do call and please report it back to us. You can always mention that another user says you should not be charged for incoming calls or voicemail. [fwiw, I don't think one can tell if a voicemail was left from the above listing, so it might have or might not have.
Good luck and thanks for sharing. [Make sure you research your history and have all the inbound charges added up so they can give you a refund.]

Here, I just called and left a message from one Tru to another:
