Another good thing to do is purchase phone cards that can be used internationally. We purchased one for each child and it worked great. My husband also purchased one when we got to Austria. When we checked into the hospital he called them to tell them the number in the room and set up a time for them to call since there was 6 hour time difference.
We found this worked out real well and it really did not cost much at all versus the cell phones.
