There's almost no public wifi where I live (big cities may have it, but they're still eons behind what is in usa anyway). I pay 10euros for 100minutes, 1GB internet (not 4g), infinite messages and infinite calls to numbers with the same company as me. If I go over the 1gb I get slowed down (a lot! almost unusable) but I don't have to pay more. I never even use more than 300MB because when I'm out I'm usually busy and have no time to even check the phone.
I've never used it outside my country, but I know I have a basic plan that is not very good (and it's forced on you if you don't have other plans):
3E/day for 25MB, you go over and it's 1E/MB (for europe and usa); 5E/day for 5MB (or 2MB depending on the country) for the rest of the world...
