Nicholas, If your cell phone uses GSM you might want to try and get it SIM unlocked from your carrier. This would allow you to purchase a local prepaid SIM so that you can get relatively economical cell service while you are over there. Of course with a different SIM card your number would be different as well. Another idea would be installing the talkatone app with google voice, which should allow you to make free phone calls when connected to wifi. Have a great trip and return safely!
