I will also put my 2 bobs worth in here. We have generally found the 3G service throughout Russia and Central Asia to be good enough to use a Skype Out (voice no video) to ring home. Very cheap and combined with a local Skype DID gives family and friends back home a number to call you on. This uses very little data.
I should also add having iPhone 4 is a pain, you can get a micro sim easy enough in Russia but is painful elsewhere means cutting up a sim that you may get wrong and potentially jam in your phone. (does anyone know any easy way to fix this  ).
