just curious what you all do to stay in touch back in the states cell phone wise? I currently have an Iphone and skype is amazing but of course Ive gotta have wifi available. Do many folks just buy a prepaid phone? Just looking for options to stay in touch that doesnt require rediculous amounts of money or constant wifi access. Thanks for the help!

I know you asked about a cell phone, but this is what I use. It turns any landline intenet hookup into WIFI. So I essentially turn my room into a WIFI hotspot and then use Skype.

I use Skype as everywhere I go there is typically WIFI there. It is free if you just call to another computer. It costs $ if you call a phone. I am in the country of Burkina Faso (Africa) and it works fine here.
