Your US contacts will also appreciate not having to call overseas to tell you to meet them at the elevators for dinner. Just ask the person for their number and then call it and they'll have yours (that way you don't have to memorize your new US number).

I can vouch for this one. Just go into the first Walmart, Target or Kmart you see (you won't have to travel far to find one) and buy a Tracfone and credit. I have one that I keep with me over here and then take back to the States every time I go home. You can reactivate it if it expires between this trip and your next one to the States. It is SO much easier than getting people to understand your overseas number.
