Other options are 09 (seller in Canada offering on Ebay US) -- free inbound. Some of the UK-based cards also offer free inbound. And don't forget to take a good calling card for use with landlines.

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 |
