    Hey Sam - even if you do not have workable GSM coverage (the situation that many of us country-dwelling individuals find themselves in), you can still make calls over WiFi using Truphone - which is downloadable through the Apple iTune Apps Store.

    [Disclaimer: I do work for Truphone]

    Sam is, alas, in a WiFi free zone!
