Well Bell Mobioity in Canada charges the following:
Roaming rtates for incoming calls:
-depending on your airtime plan, 45 cents a minute airtime plus
long distance tolls from your home market to wherever the network
found you.  The rate for the call is set at the start of it.  See
below.
With other plans, your home airtime rate including free evening
or weekend time but yes the tolls apply from your home market to
where you are.  So tell people in the city you are visiting to
call you through the Roamer Access Port in their city and not
just dial 1 your area code and cellular number.
In the u.s. on incoming calls:
depends a lot on whose network you are in but figure on US $3.50
a day setup plus $1 a minute airtime plus long distance charges
from your home market to where you are.
Some U.S. networks do not charge the $3.50 roamer setup if you
only receive calls on their network.
Outgoing calls:
in Caada depends on your airtime plan.
45 cents a minute no daily setup fee or your airtime plan may
follow you.
In U.S.
$3.50 a day setup $1 a minute
In either case you pay tolls from whwere you are when you place
the call to where you are calling.
n.b.
The rate for the call is set at the start.  So if I was in
Toronto and made a local to call you on my way to Montreal, 350
miles away and held the connection all the time, I would have a
local call all the time and would hope it was made during my flat
rate evening and weekend airtime period.
Seems if you are handed off to a U.S. cell site with a call in
progress, you don't pay roaming (I think).
Conversely, if I was in Montreal and called you in Toronto, I
would pay the Montreal-Toronto toll rate for the entire call even
if I was in Toronto just as I pulled into your driveway.
Neat eh?
