1 Week in Ireland and 1 in Slovakia

I'm totally lost on SIMs, being from the USA.

I ordered a Moto Quad phone on line. Now I'm confused on the SIMs options. Are roaming fees above and beyond other fees? There is a section on the Forum under National Operators for international calls and one for international roamings. Do I add these 2 together?

I'll be in Ireland for a week and Slovakia for a week. Meteor looks like an OK option, but they aren't in Slovakia. I Orange and O2 are in both places but they seem more expensive(?)

My wife travels to France about once a year, but I can worry about that later.

Is it better to order a card here or get one in Ireland? I notice that Boot's N' All has a Meteor offer, but I haven't called them.

First of all, here are the offers:
- Ireland
- Slovakia

On those pages you will find also roaming rates, when available.
BTW I would buy an Irish card and a Slovakian card, so you won't pay any roaming fee. And buy them in Ireland and in Slovakia, it's much cheaper and very easy and straightforward.

Thanks Effendi. Much appreciated. I'll go with your suggestion.
