Calling home, to your travel buddies or to a local number when you're abroad could be very expensive. However, there are some things you can do to save a few bucks.
# Tip No. 1: Don't leave your phone at home
Well, this isn't really going to make it cheaper. But even though it might be more expensive to use your phone while traveling, it's still perfect in case of emergency. Plus, you could always...
# Tip No. 2: ...buy temporary phone cards in a local shop
It's a lot cheaper to use a local phone card if you're going to call someone in the same country. However, if you're going to call home, it's probably a better idea to use your normal SIM-card, despite the roaming fee.
# Tip No. 3 Get Skype credits and go to an Internet café
This is the cheapest way to call your friends and family. It's ideal if they too have Skype, in order to call for free. You can call ordinary phone numbers from Skype, too. Just remember one important detail: This is (usually) only cheaper if you want to make longer calls, because of the fee of the Internet café.
If your phone supports wireless internet and Skype, you should be very happy. In bigger cities and towns there are a lot of open networks, which you can use in order to call home completely free.
That's all I've got, happy calling!
