Alternate ways for U.S. users to travel cheaply, phonewise

Another suggestion is to be aware of and use carriers who assign you a local number while roaming. I ran into this in Indonesia when a carrier (ProXL I think) sent me a SMS telling me I they had assigned me a local number for receiving calls. I programmed that number into Voicestick's forwarding and stuck them into my PRL for the rest of the time I was in Indonesia.
