Pfingo has a great call-back roaming service. You need a local SIM card of the country you're making the call and you can save up 80% of roaming charges.

When I make overseas called, I never use IDD services from Singtel, M1 or Starhub. Personally I only use Zone1511 which allows you to select the provider through which your calls are routed. This way you can configure the type of charges which you pay. Do you make roaming calls from overseas?

I rented a Garmin Nuvi 255w for my road trip to France in June. Loved it so much I told the renter I wanted to keep it for good. Now I use it even in Singapore, a place I know so well. And everyday I learn new shortcuts to get from one place to another!
