Friend has a US Verizon cellular phone and will be going to Germany for a month.

She might have access to high speed internet there.

What is the best cheapest way that we can keep in touch?

(I'm relatively inexperienced to this. But I have heard that Verizon phones are GSM and can't be used abroad? ) Other options I have heard are: Skype (never used it--is this for me to call her or vice versa?); phone card (me call her or her call me ?); T-mobile or Cingular phone.

Just remembered--I also have an old T-mobile phone that is no longer in service. Could give that to her to put a Sim card into but I guess this phone is not unlocked?

Please help!

Thanks!
