Karen -
The trouble with UM is that it can cost anywhere from 35? to $1/min. to call a LIctenstein mobile (UM) number. You might want to check w. your LD carrier to see what the cost will be. It also uses callback for outging calls, but you sound intelligent enuf to follow the directions for doing that.
When I used UM a year ago, they didn't have functioning VM. I gather that's been fixed.
Telestial is a very reputable outfit. They do charge a lot for most SIM cards. The advantage is that you would know the number to give out before you leave. As for a phone itself maybe you can buy one from a reputable shop at home. You need to make sure it is unlocked - meaning it will accept a SIM from anyone.
If you buy it at a shop - you can test if it is unlocked by having them turn it on w. a Cingular SIM in it, and then a T-Mobile SIM.
Where are you located? If, by chance, you are in northern Ca., I'll give you a perfectly fine quad band Moto V330 in exchange for a check for $50 to your favorite charity. (As long as it isn't the NRA)
You realize you are a unique person - probably the only poster on this board w.o. a cel phone! (And probably the only person you know w.o. one as well.)

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.
