They will pay for an International call, but they are pretty cheap these days.

In my case, it's more to give a number for any people that veer off & panic. So my BB would be best. With email off.
We are taking dealers etc so they always need emergency numbers etc. And of course, ditto for my wife.
I still will probably take the cheapo & get a card. It's T-mobile. We bought it in Budapest. From what we found, you have to use T-mobile cards. A post office turned us away in Eger & sent us to a T-mobile shop. And you need a new one in every country.
