The only problem is then that the phone is UNUSABLE in his home, US. He may be able to sell it on Ebay, but his scope of potential buyers is limited to folks willing to buy a phone for overseas (non-US).
That's 1 reason why I went to T-MO and ditched Verizon -- can use the same phone here as overseas.
ANYWAY, the 40 Euros = ~ $50 US and he has a phone and a card with a balance. Not a bad deal if he is willing to byte on the phone resale. He will NOT be able to give out his Greek mobile in advance if he buys it all there. Since he is there 1 month, that may not be too serious. With a new phone, he shouldn't have any problems with it not working or going bad in a few weeks (always a risk on Ebay or other used phone).
PERSONALLY, I still like the idea of borrowing a phone in US and purchasing the SIM either thru offers here on PPGSM or Ebay.
I think with SMS he will do better with the Greek SIM, true?
