I just want to be able to send the odd text, make the rare if ever emergency phone call, and thats it. If there was a merciful cell-phone God there should be a reasonably inexpensive way of doing this.

If you are on an iPhone with iOS 4 or greater, your texting automatically defaults to imessage/wifi as long as you are texting another iPhone user, and as long as you are connecting to wifi.
Magicjack is a silly little free skype app, that allows you to make phone calls from your handset using wifi, instead of the cell network. It works surprisingly well. Also don't forget you have facetime to chat with people with iPhone back home as long as the have an iOS device.
Rogers charged me 25 bucks for 100 texts (crooks) but at the end of the day, it was still cheaper than buying pay as you go handset here, or unlocking the phone and buying a US sim.
