We are flying into Munich and going to be going to/through Austria, Italy and Switzerland as well as Hungary. Can anyone suggest a prepaid phone service that will work in all those places? I have a GSM phone, and just need a SIM card.

huge roaming prices

I bet you will not be able to find one without huge roaming prices... I'd be happy to be proven wrong :)

I'll probably just stick with my US provider

€0.8 / min. to/from just about anywhere. In Hungary, I'll put a local card in my wife's phone. Any recommendations for that?

And shouldn't you be on your honeymoon?

Pannon - Djuice Hungarian SIM card

I bought the Pannon -Djuice local SIM card. It cost 5000 Florints, a little over $30US. I figured it was easy to get lost, or have a call with a colleague and end up running a huge phone bill and this was good insurance against it.

Vodafone

I got a Vodafone SIM card and number from the Panasonic store near Deak street. The SIM card was 3000FT and the number was 3000FT, for appx $40US. You get 4700FT at 30FT per minute, or about 167 minutes. And you can add minutes online, if you need more.
