Looks like if you have a GSM phone which works in Europe, you can buy a SIM card for $19 and then pay just for the calls you make/receive. While the rates aren't nearly as good as pre-paid cards purchased in other countries, it seems like a good alternative for somebody who doesn't expect to make a lot of calls but wants the option available and for people who might be in multiple foreign countries and not want to have to buy prepaid cards in each place.
Any thoughts on this?

Lousy deal. I would look for something better priced.
What I have done is gotten some pre-paid SIMs that are linked to a "top-up" or similar feature and then have a local party (or go online and) get them re-charged as needed when roaming oversees.
