Not really cheap SIMs, nor can you usually pay 10 bucks a month pre pay for your voice/data needs.

I live in China, and prepay is great. I still pay full price for my phones, but I come out ahead in the end.

You can prepay, for example on T-Mobile. The sim card is $1, and while you won't get by on $10, if you stay in the city $30 gets you all you need. Definitely still cheaper in China and Europe.
