And I pay $10-15 per month using a MVNO. Europeans pay $10-20/mth for their cell phone services, anything more than $30/mth is daylight robbery.

Jason T-Mobile is pretty inexpensive. I pay 45 total, this includes tax, a month for unlimited Talk, Text, Data on their value plan. It’s a family plan consisting of 2 phones, so total bill for both phones is around 90 every month. I do have a small customer loyal discount for being with them for too long.

So are these contract prices? Can I sign up for the 1st month, cancel it and pay off the 24mths of EIP due?

There plans aren’t cheap enough to justify paying out of pocket for their phones. Their plans + monthly device payments = Verizon plans with a phone subsidy. Until they make their plans as cheap as virgin mobile or straight talk they are not going to gain market share.
