I pay 15 euro/month. For it I can call within the country. I pay extra if I call another country in Europe. It's not covert in these 15 euro. I can get a deal for zero euro a month and pay for the calls at a higher cost per minute. But this is for phones without icons. Calls only, no weather forecast or internet.

My first call of the day costs $1 plus $0.10 a minute. If I make more calls that day I am charged $0.10 a minute. I know this will be surprising to a lot of people but I do not talk that much on the phone. I am retired and have a landline also.
