However I would still like to have a US mobile phone for trips back to the USA (could also forward google voice to this number when we are in town).

Is there a cheap GSM monthly service plan that won't cost me a fortune? We have unlocked iphones.
There are some legacy Tmobile prepaid plans at $3/month or less but they are harder and harder to find and only available in a secondary market form such as eBay maybe.
