Cheapest prepay mobile company in Greece?

Hi, I am traveling around Greece for 8 weeks, and I need some advice on the best prepay mobile offer? What company has the cheapest prepay SIM card/service? I am interested in sending SMS (to Greek mobiles only) for a 2 month period. No roaming, no international, no internet, or other extras, just a few local calls (in urban areas), and most importantly I need to know who offers the CHEAPEST outgoing SMS . What company do you recommend? Which company do you have?

I think the complete list is here:
Vodaphone, Panafone a la carte , Telestet B-free, Wind, Cosmokarta, Ciao Mobile, Frog Mobile, Q Card 1, Kartokiniti, Mo'Mad (by Wind), Champion,

Thanks for your advice.

Here is the list:
PrePaidGSM: Greece
Since Wind offers you ALL the offers of the other operators, I think that if you go with Wind you are sure to have what you want.

The cheapest option at the moment is the Wind F2G2. According to the table Effendi posted above, F2G2 charges 0.0017 Euro/sec (roughly 10 cents/min) for all the Greek mobiles and landlines and 4 cents per SMS to Greek *and* international destinations.

You need to buy a Wind F2G prepaid card and then dial 1342 to change your plan to F2G2. More info and details here:

WIND HELLAS

The only "problem" you may face is that as of November 2009, all newly purchased prepaid cards need to be registered, therefore you need to have a Greek address. But I suppose that since you will be there for 2 months, you can use the address you will be staying for the registration.

are you sure that you need to have a greek address? As far as i know you "only" need a passport and SIM card number?

"short-term visitors and tourists will be asked for name, address and passport."
From here
Prepaid cell phone cards in Greece lose anonymity starting November 2009

Can presumably be a hotel.

Edit: I posted the wrong link. This later post says you may only need a passport:
