Cool. Thx dr. I was also told, depending on how much talk time I actually need (+ or - 30min being the magic number?), that it can be cheaper by not using the prepaid sim and going w/ a regular calling card instead? Does that sound right to anybody?

Perhaps I misunderstand, but I think you have 2 different items.

(1) Calling card to dial out is almost always cheaper than mobile. BUT you cannot be reached on a calling card AND you need land line to use it.

(2) Mobile works anywhere (with service); you can be reached; you don't need landline; is most likely more expensive.

Take or have both. I always do. Use the most convenient and economical choice you have.
