Then how'd those crazy Europeans pull it off? Europeans don't need a separate phone for each country.

Some less professional solutions include letting others contact you, Internet cafe, VoIP, using free hotspots (sometimes free if from same provider) or cheap/pseudo free ones (such as FON, Boingo), use 3G of your friend with WiFi or BlueTooth (Joikuspot) or ask a stranger or search for nice stranger, or just be efficient in your usage while taking your data with you.
If I would travel a lot international I'd consider something like buying a (2nd hand) cheap-but-good-enough phone (pre-paid or subscription depending on duration) on site or (more likely) buy a subscription which includes iPass support. Vodafone also provides a flat rate subscription for business customers but this costs like 50 EUR a month. Might be worth it though.

Do the things like the flat rate subscriptions require contracts? I ask because I just decided that I am going to Slovakia to visit a friend, and I'll need Internet. I do plan to bring my old handset for voice calls and get a local prepaid number. This way people can reach me on my USA skype number which would be forwarded to a local Slovak number. But for data if I am mobile, hmmm... Its needed for work (the data, not the travel)
