New to GSM and SIM cards

Thanks MATHA531.

My next stop is Panama and I did read the thread about Yackie trouble in Panama. United Mobile unfortunately doesn't list Panama. Am I best off buying a SIM card when I get there?

Do any of the international SIM card companies other than Yackie offer a US number? A US number is important because I need grandcentral.com to forward their number to whichever number I'm available on and they don't forward out of the US yet.

How does data fit into all this? I'm mainly interested in connecting my laptop to the internet via the phone.
