>People in the US still use cheques. And they have to pay (a lot) to print those.
Anecdotal, but I've rarely seen anyone pay by cheque.

Yes, because chip cards are so infallible.
>It's cheaper for me to call the US using an MVNO from Europe than picking up a phone and calling the US from within with a pre-paid cell phone there.
Surprising. Care to list some prices?
