Buy a prepaid data-sim in every country that you travel to. I did that while travelling, and it worked well. In a few places, they'd give them to you either completely free (3, in Sweden) or for free when topping up with a small amount of money (3 and O2, in the UK, £10). I had planned to do that when I visited the US in 2005. I also had VoIP setup with a US number for voice. As it turned out, I ended up getting a lend of a friend's phone while over there, so we could contact each other. As for data, I had data through wifi at each place I stayed, all free except the hotel in Vegas, which was $10/24 hours. I was able to keep that down to 2 x 24 hours for my 3 night stay, by picking my purchasing times well.
