Ms Em,
When / where are you going?
If your phone is compatible, you should be able to get a German SIM card. If not, for about 60 Euro, you can purchase a cell phone that will come with 10 Euro of prepaid. This is what I have done and it's worked out great. All incoming calls are free to me, but calling overseas costs about 1.5 Euro/minute. I call home and say call me back. Calls are billed to the caller at a 'premium' rate. I normally pay .10/minute to call Germany, but these calls are billed at .26/minute.
Another option is internet phone - VOIP. I use this whenever I have a good internet connection and get excellent results... dirt cheap or free, depending on your provider.
Internet can be a challenge or expensive, depending on where you stay.
