Some carriers have an international plan add-on which may or may not save you money. Many foreign countries work differently than others for data and voice so what works for one may not for another.

Voice over IP solutions like Skype may be a good option if cheap data is available like free hotel wifi. For everything else you just have to make sure you know what the rate is for data, voice, and text messaging to see if it's worth it.
