Answer 1

If you bring your phone you'd need to decode it and buy a sim card.

make sure your phone works with Euro frequency as well

Answer 2

Be sure to have a tri-band cell phone which accepts other SIM cards than those of your provider. You can also buy a prepaid card with a cell phone, check that this one is a tri-band so you can use it in the states as well, faily cheap option over here.
