I'm going to have a 6 week training and seminar in U.K. and Germany and I was wondering if I need to buy a sim card to call back home (Philippines) and the U.S.

I'm on a tight budget so anything I can save will surely help to balance my expenses. I was thinking of getting a voip because I'm bringing my notebook with me but a lot of them are yearly plans and not sure which one to get. I am also thinking of phone cards but not sure if that would be too much of a hassle.

Okay I've been reading and looking around the net. I think I will drop the sim card option as I've read that calling from Europe could be more expensive than phone cards.

Onesuite mobile rates to Philippines is not bad at 16.5 cpm. Landline is much better at 12.5 cents.
