This is why a pre paid plan will work there. Here in the US , where you pay also for incoming calls,people tend to buy a lots of minutes because you never know who will call you. Also I find it way way way cheaper in europe to have a cell phone plan.. To have to pay for incoming calls is quite the scam here in the US. It makes plans too expensive. In The Netherlands and in Germany, my friends and relatives all have pre paid plans for their kids. They only pay 15 euro's for 100 minutes ( and don' t pay for incoming calls) You have to compare apples with apples..
