Call Forwarding

Your are right about HIGH rates to call UM (and possibly other) international mobiles. From the US calling European mobiles is usually more expensive ($0.25 - $0.35) anyway versus calls to landlines which usually run < $0.10 per minute.

Call forwarding is quite elegant. Just have your family and friends call your regular landline or cellphone # and it will dial thru to your international mobile if you choose to set it up that way.

PERSONALLY, when I travel abroad from US, I am not expecting anyone to call me and I hardly ever give out my cell #s -- only work and family for emergencies. I usually call out to them.

I would hope other more experienced travellers would have other solutions for you, but I don't.
