I have a team of 7 people going to a big trade conference in Germany in May-June and only 3 of them have GSM phones. We all need phones for local use in Germany, so we are getting unlocked GSM phones from Telestial (link below).
You buy the phone before you go. Turn it on once across the pond to activate it. Then buy more minutes locally as you need them or set it up to automatically charge more minutes to your credit card. Some of the plans have free incoming minutes and other goodies. The service and costs vary by country, but it seems reasonable for local, in-country use. It's still a lot more than here, but OK for a short stay. The phones are decent --not throw-aways-- so you can buy more minutes and use them on another trip. some will also work here in the US.
For calling home (or any long distance), I recommend Skype which I've used in Japan, Germany, Belgium, France and Israel with no problem.
