Where you have N plans with different per-minute cost, additional modifiers that may cost N euros a month and provide discount for calls on specific type of destination numbers (say, your calls to other providers' mobiles will become 25% cheaper than without a modifier), cost varies per minute (depending on plan, first minute can be 3x expensive, the next 2 cheap, third is free, and fourth and more is at yet another price) and there are accumulators and bonus points.
Prepaid plans in US are much easier. And contract plans are too. No advanced math required to figure out what you should get (take average number of minutes, multiply by cost per minute, compare with contract package deal)
Yep. And then you get to deal with all the rate unique prefixes that affect all callers, regardless of whether they are originating from a land line or cell line.
