Why would you want to pay $70 to rent a phone that you could buy and
keep for under $50? I went and priced Greek prepaid SIMs. You can
get them for E19.90 which includes E8 of airtime, which is about 25
local minutes. If you talk more than that, you can buy more airtime
credit.

All European countries use GSM 900/1800 phones, so a phone that works
in one country will work in all of them. They all are caller pays, so
as long as you have a SIM and phone number for the country you're in,
incoming calls are always free to you, although rather pricey to the
caller.
