My son is studying abroad in Maastricht, Netherlands and it's difficult to figure out which company offers the best rates per minute for using a cellphone there. He has a phone that he unlocked and can be used globally, he just needs to get a sim card. No contracts, just prepaid sim card will work. Preferably he'd like one with free incoming calls and decent rates for local calls. Calling home in the US will be rare since we skype! Does anyone know which company has the best rates for local calls? Thanks.

Gale, you might want to delete this as it's a duplicate of your other Post in the "General Europe" section.

Gale, the leading Dutch cell phone service provider is a company called KPN and their own subsidiary called Telfort. Free incoming calles are pretty much standard in Europe. You can find some information on them here: http://www.kpn.com/corporate/aboutkpn/Company-profile/company-profile/brands/telfort.htm - Also check out their "Hi" brand on the left hand side.

Hi Ken, Yes I know I duplicated the post. I wasn't sure I put it in the right spot or which would produce replies. Since my son is in Europe now and ready to use a cell phone I just wanted to get full exposure on my question! Hope that's okay.....

checking into it still. One company mentioned a per minute rate plus a tariff - I guess per call fee in addition to minutes used.
