Often you can buy a pay as you go SIM for whatever country you are visiting and add whatever minutes you want.
Caveat - there are a number of companies selling foreign SIM cards that come with a Catch-22. You can't use the cards until you put some time on them and you usually can't add time to them until you get to the particular country. Some say you can refill over the Internet, which is true for some, BUT you usually need a credit card with a local mailing address.
I purchased an unlocked razr and it worked fine with a Mobal SIM and also with a Tmobile UK SIM. I even used the TMobile SIM in a laptop connect card for 4 pound/day unlimited Internet in England. Wasn't always speedy, but beat the heck out of paying the cruise ship 40 cents/minute.
