Best general European SIM card?

I'm trying to figure out which SIM card to get for a trip to Europe…I'm going to France for a month, then Russia, the Baltics, Poland, Slovakia and Germany for three weeks.

I was about to buy the Telestial Explorer but I read somewhere that it doesn't have voicemail. Also I can't figure out from its site whether it has that annoying requirement that you call a number, then wait for a callback. I have an old(er) card from ekit that does that with a little bit of time left, I was going to chuck that when it ran out.

So…I guess what I'm looking for is a cheap pan-European SIM card that has voicemail and doesn't require you to wait for a callback (if something that exists).

I also just realized T-Mobile has its own service called WorldClass that's free to activate (my phone from them is already unlocked and it's quad-band), but my head started spinning as I tried to figure out if there would be any substantial hidden costs with that route. It seemed too simple, to just be able to use my own phone/number at a reasonable rate.

P.S. Please let me know if there is a better (more specific) forum to post this in (I couldn't find one). Also if there are other websites with dedicated SIM card forums that have good discussions and minimal spam I would be interested in those, to increase my odds of figuring out what to do. Thanks
