The ideal plan for me is if I can get a local phone number of that country I am in. Like if I can get 10 local phone numbers for 10 different countries that's the only way I see it being worthwhile, because girls from that country generally won't reply to texts from non-local phone numbers cause it'll cost more. They also won't call that number either. Too complicated for them. You got to make it as easy for them as possible and not make it appear like you're a tourist.
If there's a plan like that I'd like to know.

SO little opinion on this?
Well, Boost and Virgin Mobile "Beyond Talk Unlimited" are offering cheap pre-paid plans with Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphones THIS JUNE.

(Sprint is the operator here.) Foreign rates are usually 25cents/minute for cell phones abroad (but up to 70cents).
This is affordable for me for roaming Europe; then I can switch to a local prepaid SIM for settling in for weeks/months.
Also T-mobile is doing this premium smartphone in June (plan detail not yet announced). The latter is especially friendly on SIM-card users.
The whole point of this is to avoiding going the two-phone route - one for the US, another for travelling and living abroad. THAT'S what I want. And cheap!
No real opinions?
PS SIMple mobile gets a bad review here (and the video critique is TOO simplitic)

Read comments to see that they are too arbitrary about
their "unlimited" user limitations:

THIS got me searching for better plan for now.
