I see a lot of phones at less than 20 Euro but all are with a mensil expence.

Thanks all for replies

you should be able to get a nice unlocked Sony E t68, or t616 unlocked on ebay for about 50-75$. Then, just buy a prepaid sim in Europe.

otherwise, vodaphone had a nice deal a while ago, 50 euro for a phone and 15 euro of minutes. Don't know how their plans worked though. Nice thing was they are the ONLY providor who sells phones and or cards in the franfurt airport, short of the electronics booth in the international B terminal. which was closed in March, but may now be open. the mobile place is OUTSIDE security and they have phones and Vodaphone sims.
