For calling home and best ways to call, check out the 2 or 3 postings in the "Packing" forum about calling cards, calling home, etcetera.

As for renting cell phones, I really don't know, but would think that would be difficult to regulate/monitor. Maybe with limited calling plans. But then, you might as well use a phone booth with those kinds of restrictions. Seeing as how MOST (is seems) of Spain owns a cell phone, hopefully some of the Spaniards will shed some light on this topic.
