The so-called "Obama phones" are indeed true pieces of shit. They squeeze a few dozen uninstallable apps on a phone with 8G of local storage and like 512M ram... Anyway, I am fairly sure you can make international calls, but depending on the provider you may have to add funds to what comes each month with the device.
