If you decide to get local SIMs, I'd suggest Simyo in Belgium (6c/min), Lebara in Netherlands (14c), and maybe Orange in France (unlimited off-peak packages) and use a calling card for about 2c a minute on top.

I believe that Simyo can only be ordered by Belgian nationals/residents though, and maybe then transferred; that's what they told me anyway, then didn't answer the follow-up question.

I've got one of the IoM based SIMs, normal tariff 24 to 30c, and there are some cheaper ways to call to/from it - 15 to 17c per minute (or less for now)

Or set up callback to landlines in your accommodation - 4 or 6c per minute
