O2 is pretty good too. Spend 5 pounds and henceforth, all calls to North America are 20p (while in the UK at least). O2 seems to have the largest coverage footprint in the UK, too.

It roams in Canada, and presumably most of the US, so you can send a text message or use a bit of GPRS data to keep it active. You also get a free call to the UK every week (one minute) so that might keep it active, too, without any expenditure. You only need to do something every 180 days to keep it running.

It doesn't roam on Alltel (USA 590) but it does work on Rogers here in Canada. I haven't taken it to Cingular or T-Mobile USA coverage.
