I use rebtel <http://rebtel.com> to call Kenya from wherever. Requires internet though but it's great and cheap.
Plus you can register with your local (Kenya) number - and thats the number that will show on the callee(?)'s screen.
Charges: 0.95 Cents (US Cents) - like 8 bob a minute. And they have apps for mobile devices as well. It has saved me lots of times.
There are others like voipdiscount which I understand is even cheaper. Havent tried it though.
One challenge is how to purchase the credit but since nationhela came about its been seamless for me. I can have someone load my nationhela account via mpesa and then pay for credit via paypal

Avoid roaming especially data on foreign countries, use the local wifi etc (having worked at sfc) i have seen bills of up to 5 million simply because somebody went roaming with his ipad in the US.... and the company likes it because whether you like it or not you will have to pay..

1. Get a local SIM card; circulate the number to your most frequent callers. 2. Keep off data roaming. The bills will make you weep 3. If you can, make extensive use of VOIP services eg Skype 4. If you must roam, try to "latch" onto a local provider who may have preferential roaming rates with your home provider eg Vodacom affiliates work better with Safcom, Airtel sister groups blend better with Airtel Kenya, the Orange group favours their own brands etc.. 5. As a rule of thumb.... pre-paid roaming (if allowed) has lesser disputes than post-paid roaming.
Aside : Previously, Zain group had that God-sent pre-paid roaming service (One network) that was silently discontinued by Airtel. Oh the handy acrobatics that went with it! [?][?]
