Overseas flat rate calling plans

I have the Verizon global phone with the America's Choice II plan in the States and $1.29/minute call or receive when I'm in Europe. Does Verizon, or anybody else for that matter, have anything in the pipeline to establish the equivalent of an America's Choice calling plan for use while in Europe? I take a disposable German phone with a SIMM card for 9 Euro cents a minute while I'm in Europe for routine calls and just use the global phone so my US customers can reach me at a US phone number. I'd like to just use the global phone for everything, but the $1.29/minute is too much. I'd like a flat rate while in Europe. Anything like that out there?

Go on e-bay and buy an Italian SIMM card. We bought one for about $30 and was able to use our phone the whole month we were in Italy: all incoming calls were free. You'll be able to recharge the card at any phone shop if needed.
