Everything in the states on popular carriers is done by minutes. You purchase a plan with X minutes -- and most good plans only count your weekday daytime minutes -- to determine your service.
Long distance on the big guys like Sprint is free, unless its outside the US, and roaming charges are the other thing they get you for -- though most big cell companies don't have many areas of roaming...
My bill is maybe 150 bucks a month and thats for thousands of minutes, long distance to Canada etc, and some roaming every month (seems like I always end up somewhere out of the way without digital coverage and have to use analog roaming) --
That also includes my wireless internet charges, all the directory assistance calls I make, two way paging, etc...
