We have a tri-band phone that we use all over the world and it is great for quick calls or indeed texting. We also use phonecards in the villa and find this a much cheaper option than offering the free-phonecall service to our guests. Our guests don't seem to mind buying phonecards. For longer calls whilst we are in the villa we use Skype on the computer which is totally free when calling another Skype user but the calls to a landline or mobile anywhere in the world through Skype are very cheap too.
