The world prepaid SIMs are not bad. I have United Mobile+. It costs me about 30-odd Eurocents a minute to make an outbound call to landlines in the civilized world (which is reasonable enough for me). Inbound calls in many countries in the world are free, and the number is a UK number so the rate isn't too ridiculous for people to call it. (Some of the international SIMs have obscure numbers from Liechtenstein, Iceland, Estonia, etc. which, while intriguingly cool, can be fairly costly to call from some countries.)

If you want the lowest possible rate, getting SIMs in each country you visit is probably best, but for such a whirlwind trip, it won't make sense. You will not be in any one country long enough to take huge advantage of having a local SIM.
