In the UK a basic cheap 'pay as you talk' (buy call credit in advance and no
contract) mobile phone (no pictures, no extra ringtones, etc) start at
around GBP15.00
You can see a selection (sort by price low to high) at

Then you'd need to check with the service provider attached to the one you
like to see if they do a suitable sim card for Europe to USA - I know that
Vodaphone do.
One web site that discusses phone call options Europe to USA is:

Don't know what the situation is in other European countries, but here
public phones are disappearing fast and you could have trouble finding one
to use. I don't know if they even use cards now.
