Welcome to another new member.
1. The carriers you mention that charge for incoming calls actually, in most cases turn out to be cheaper. Since you can get a local U.S. number, there is no extra charge on your family's end. Calling an Estonian number used by some providers costs 40-50 cents/min. An Isle of Mann number, over 30 cents in most cases. UM +423 number can be 40-70 cents. Some LD carriers block calls to +423, a few block to +372. I don't think anyone blocks calls to +44 numbers.
2. Most (all?) intl. cards use a callback type process to make outgoing calls. In simple terms you dial the number you want as usual, then "hang up". In a few seconds your phone rings and you hear the phone ringing of the person you called. Nobody, physically, calls you back.

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
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.
