There is a lot of competition in US mobile networks.  

MetroPCS.com provides flat rate unlimited service $40
Surewest.com provides flat rate unlimited service $30
Sprint (in some areas) offers flat rate unlimited service $55

Cingular/AT&T, Nextel, Tmobile, Verizon, and probably 100 other smaller
regional providers do not offer flat rate unlimited.  They may I just
havent seen any advertisements myself (I havent been looking either).

Some plans charge for inbound some dont.  Some charge against your
minutes for 1800 (US doesnt use '0800' as a naming system) some are flat
rate.  You really have to read the details of the plan in question to
find out.
