Both CelTrek and MaxRoam work in virtually all Central and South American countries. Rates do vary a lot from 19 cent incoming in Costa Rica to over $1.25 in some countries. They provide U.S. numbers (and others).
If you are going to be in one country any length of time, then a country specific card will do. Telestial is a reputable company. Obviously,they have to charge more than the cost would be in the destination country. The convenience of having a card when you land is worth something and can save you money if you have calls to make when you land. Eg. In Guatemala there were not shops in the torn up airport and couldn't locate a store until the next day. (We landed late.) Prepaids there have 10 cent calling to the U.S.!

A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
