I used a Passport SIM from EKIT on a Med cruise last fall. It worked fine and cost me $2.49 a minute. But a few times we cruised close to the Italian and Greek coast and I was able to make calls off the local carrier for about 69 cents a minute. With the Passport SIM they tell you about how many minutes of air time you have left before the call starts. I was also able to recharge for free from the cruise ship.

With T-Mobile (US) it's 35c for outgoing and I still have free incoming SMS. I assume that GPRS roaming is the same as everywhere else, so smsBug would be a good value too.
