moved to states from germany and i don't understand why they don't have the same type of pre-paid service here in the states. i would buy 1 sim card with 25 euros on it. even when the money ran out i could still be reachable just couldn't make any phone calls but people could still call me and i could still talk to them because the caller is paying for the call. if needed be i would have a telephone card and just use a phone booth caues it was only 20 cent.

now i use net10....i buy the 300 minute card for 30$ which is good for 60 days so it comes out to 15$ a month
