First, why do you assume that buying would be too expensive? The basic rental for a cellphone for one week is about the same as the cost of buying a decent phone.

There are several prepaid options that allow you to roam about most of Europe at very low cost. Also, consider a feature of CallbackWorld.com called PIN2DEST. They provide toll-free access numbers in many countries of Europe and around the world. By calling one of these access numbers from a public or hotel phone and dialing a PIN your call can be forwarded to any phone chosen. So, you could have just a few key people with cell phones and the rest having a list of access numbers and PINs to contact the key people.

Otherwise you could get several unlocked multi-band GSM phones and prepaid SIMs from UM or another international carrier and just call each other as needed.
