I bought in NZ a local Vodaphone pre-paid SIM card, which included automatically that I got a NZ mobile phone number. communications with Europe became more than 50% cheaper than if I had continued to use my Dutch pre-paid number / card. Depending on the length of time you are abroad it is worthwhile to consider to buy locally a pre-paid SIM card. It is handy not only for you, but also for relatives and friends who travel later to the same country to who you can give (lend) the SIM card of that countyry. Or for yourself, if you decide to go there again. Earlier this year I travelled for 5 weeks to New Zealand and Australia, of which 4 weeks we stayed in New Zealand.
