"Europe is made up of how many countries, all of which have their own national carriers that are partnered with many other countries for a continent wide network.  That makes a much bigfer difference on network development when there are dozens of companies doing the work of 3 national carriers we have here." 

 

As I said, there is not enough competition in the U.S. So, the carriers are free to gouge the consumer. There are plenty of net articles expounding that fact. 

 

"You do have a choice though.  If you don't like the pricing here or the options.  Don't use or purchase them then."

 

What choice is that—not to have a mobile? 

I ask once more: Do you have a suggestion as to how to lower U.S./T-Mobile costs?

There are plenty of value focused options out there.  You might want to look at Metro by T-Mobile or Mint, which also uses T-Mobile.  It might even be cheaper if you roam on your service from the country you live in. . ."

 

I shall check out those options, thanks! 

 

I never use international services with a U.S. carrier! Far better to purchase a SIM card abroad with a cost-effective plan. 

 

Just for the record, I rarely eat out in the U.S. because the prices are so over the top, while offerings are often low quality, even in so-called high-end, "gourmet" restaurants. The U.S. over-the-top tipping culture adds an outrageous amount to an already exorbitant bill. 

OTOT—I eat out in Europe or Japan frequently because the food is of higher quality and the prices are lower while service is top-notch most of the time and—tipping is minimal or not expected because waitstaff is paid a living wage.
