Thanks Przemolog. I'm afraid I phrased that wrong. I do understand that in order to make calls from Europe back to the US I will need a phone that supports GSM 900 or GSM 900/1800 bands. I was more or less wondering if there were other avenues to take (i.e. the prepaid phone card from Sams Club and such places that I've read about) that would make it easier as opposed to upgrading to a 900/1800 band phone for the sole purpose of our trip. I'm looking for an easy, cheap, no-fuss way to keep in touch (maybe twice a week) with family back home as well as being able to receive call in case of emergencies ... if a solution even exists. Thanks
