Thanks for all the input and advice. The options and their meanings are much clearer to me now.

My plan is to get either a Travelsim or 09 card for use on-the-go (presuming Travelsim respond positively to my inquiry about phone compatibility). My guess is that most outgoing calls will be less than 2 minutes, and that mitigates against the services with a connection fee like UM. My phone is not on the compatible list for any of the IoM services, so that eliminated them from consideration for me. Travelsim is free for incoming in most places I will be, and I'll just have to be careful in Italy and Poland. I still need to find more details about 09. Not sure I've found their website yet.

I'll get a local card in the Czech Republic once I arrive there.

My parents and I will also sign up for a callback service that doesn't have monthly fixed fees. Probably Callbackworld. To cover their calls to me, and for me to use in the event that I have a need to make a long, long distance call. VOIP is a little more involved than we'd like to get right now.

Will let the forum know of my experiences. Thanks again.
