I don't think so
The two main carriers in the USA for GSM don’t as far as I know. (Though they do offer plans with unlimited nights and weekends, both incoming and outgoing.) Perhaps some of the smaller carriers do. As you know, that’s not the way of plans in North America.
Note that UK plans are not “free incoming” they are “caller pays a high fee for your incoming calls.”
US plans are “caller does not pay” (cell lines look like landlines.) instead the cell owner pays. Several of the carriers offer free incoming calls to their monthly customers who buy such a plan, but it means you miss out on some other feature that other plans get.
The incoming calls will cost the standard minute rate, which is down to 10 cents/minute on t-mobile if you buy a larger card.
Fido in Canada does offer free incoming calls on a plan that has a $1/day cost for doing so. I don’t think their prepaid roams into the USA.
