Alternatively, you can activate international roaming and dialing on your current account (assuming it's GSM). This will be more costly, however.

It's been a couple of years since I've looked at this (see, generally, my posts to the kids board) but if you happen to have T-Mobile,* they have (or used to have) a relatively cheap add-on to their plan where you can use your minutes in Europe as well. It was like $5-6 a month. If you happen to be on T-Mobile, you might take a look.
*T-Mobile is a sub of Deutche Telecom, so they have prettty good EU coverage.
