Cheapest possible way to make phone calls to the USA when visiting multiple European countries

score:1

Accepted answer

I had a look at your StackOverflow profile and it says you are from New York. You have two methods of doing this.

European countries all have different mobile networks and phone number systems. So you would most likely have to get a sim in each country but that isn't really economic and is a major hassle.

Method 1: Google Voice

Get a Google Voice number and link it to your Google Hangouts mobile app. You can then send free texts when you have the Google Voice option selected, and after installing Hangouts Dailer (if on Android) you can make/receive calls for free over wifi.

NOTE: This only works on Wifi.

Method 2: T-Mobile USA SIM

T-Mobile have a Simple Choice Plan which is $50 a month, and has free text and data roaming for the countries you listed. See the whole list here. You would have to sign up and then cancel so they don't keep billing you every month.

VOIP phones, like Vonage, can be used wherever you have cable access to the internet. I take my office with me wherever I go around the world. Calls reach me immediately. I can call anywherein the States as if I were home.
