If you're in Eastern or Southern Europe (as the 2€ would indicate), they might pay 2000 USD per year for phone, but they also probably make five or ten times your salary.
I can understand why service prices are tied to locale. If a person in the Bay Area chooses to be a plumber or a chef instead of a software engineer, they need to be paid much more than plumber or a chef in Slovakia. But the cost of providing cell service is largely infrastructure and hardware which is the same everywhere. It seems the reason why prices in the US are so high is government failure to foster competition.
