Europe is a continent with many different countries (not states as in US or provinces as in Canada) who each have their own mobile phone providers, country codes etc.
So here are a few questions back at you:
1) Which country?
2) What network? Here in UK there is Vodafone, O2, Orange, T-mobile, 3, Virgin and I wouldn't be surprised if I have missed a few.
You don't pay per week. You prepay your airtime and it will last for months depending on network and how much you use it.
A sim card with £1 credit to start you off with can cost as little as £5. Minute charges varies but are in the region of 35pence per minute on most networks.
