If you have call over WiFi on your phone, then making calls to the country where you are roaming using Google Voice might make sense. Example: I was in Thailand. Calling a Thai cell number directly cost 20ct/min, using Google Voice over WiFi: 3ct/min. Again in that second option, Google Voice calls a US number which is free over WiFi and that number connects you to the Thai cell phone.

I'm on a Nexus 4 (Android) so no wifi calling unfortunately. I guess I'll be trying Keepcalling.com's Android app where I still have a bunch of leftover minutes and that does use wifi.
