Nicholas,
    If your cell phone uses GSM you might want to try and get it SIM
unlocked from your carrier. This would allow you to purchase a local
prepaid SIM so that you can get relatively economical cell service while
you are over there. Of course with a different SIM card your number
would be different as well. Another idea would be installing the
talkatone app with google voice, which should allow you to make free
phone calls when connected to wifi.
Have a great trip and return safely!
Ben
