Prepaid GSM With Roaming Allowed Available in the US?

Hi,

A friend of mine lives in the States, has two kids and bad credit records. She wants (alone) to come visit Europe this fall, and wants her kids to be able to call her in Europe by dialing a local US number.

If the issue were the other way round, I'd come to the States with a prepaid GSM SIM that has roaming enabled, and put that SIM into a borrowed GSM phone over there.

She now tells me that prepaid GSM is almost a non-market in the US, and that no prepaid GSM SIMs are available that allow international roaming.

Is that true, or did she miss something? I'd appreciate any comments.

A GSM phone useable in the European GSM networks is available here, I have a spare Nokia 6310. The issue is the prepaid SIM that allows a phone located in Europe to be reachable with an American number.
