Autumn,
I use Skype and it cost me about $16 every 5-6 months. That is for overseas calls. I’d hardly call that ridiculous.

Skype calls are expensive and the fees that they charge are ridiculous. There are free ways to call home using your actual cell phone, and ways to totally obliterate roaming charges.

I can vouch for credit cards not being the way to go. From a pay phone I was charged $25 per call for two calls of about a minute each. I understand from other guests that they paid about a dollar or two from the seam phone using coins.
As to sim cards, my provider requires that you go to them before leaving and have a software change made to the phone so it can accept other sim cards when you travel. Always a good idea to talk with your provider before you travel.
