This has to be most most mundane advice I have ever seen……

Unlocked phones are readily available on the Internet. You can also take a phone that is locked and for a small fee have it unlocked in most major European cities at cell (mobile) phone kiosks. I use T-Mobile, with a Nokia N95 that I bought online and have never had a problem.

I actually just got my Skype phone a few days ago. A GSM unlocked phone is great too.

Why not give your unused phone cards to people at the airport who are just arriving? Good karma.

Hey Matt, I agree that these days a cell phone and a local SIM card is the way to go for any extended trip – I teach ESL in Australia and all my students who come here for longer than a month all do this. But I was surprised that you said Skype’s not very well known? I use it to keep in touch with people I met all over Europe and Asia, and of course at home in Oz too – maybe it’s just not so well known in the US? I don’t know, but I know that I love it, especially using the web-cam with it.
