I highly doubt that your SIM card is depleted due to the US mobile phone
billing structure. Sounds like a bad contract with a carrier that is
billing you for incoming calls even though you aren't on the network, or
bills you a fee each month when your SIM is inactive.
Don't blame a country's mobile telephone billing structure for a carrier's
cell phone billing plan that seems confusing.
That's like blaming the Department of Transportation for your faulty
airbag.
