Anyone have any suggestions? Again, I just want to be able to take my Android phone overseas -- where I won't have real phone service, but will have WiFi -- and be able to make calls (and, if possible, receive them) using my normal phone and phone number.

It depends on what you mean by "normal phone and phone number." If you have SIP service, e.g. Vonage, you can use either a generic SIP app or one provided by Vonage.
