I dont thik you need to buy ur cards in the US, they have plenty to get over there, any local shop or post office sells them. If you get in the US are you sure you'll be able to use it in Europe??

I think I'd just buy them there. But, they usually sell them per country there and they're a little tricky to use - you end up dialing about 25 digits with pauses, if you're calling back to the US. Really, I didn't use the phone much over there - too much of a hassle.
