Have you thought about Skype? www.skype.com
 You can make and receive calls even if you or the party that you are
calling doesn't have a computer. Perhaps the Gizmo Project (google
it).

Vonage or AT&T CallVantage, service provider will recognize MAC
address of the router that you will be taking along with you, not the
region where you are in. You can call anywhere in the US free, or
anyone in US can call you.

Note that there is a monthly rate. I am not sure if the call is unlimited.

I use Lingo in Taiwan.
