Iphone use in Scotland

I have an Iphone with AT&T cellular service. I don't really want to purchase one of the expensive AT&T international plans. I've read about changing out sim cards but haven't read about anyone with an iphone and AT&T. We will be spending 3 weeks in GB-visitng London, Scotland and Northern Ireland. I'd like to have some texting use, internet use for GPS and general information, and to make a few calls back to the US. Any suggestions?

Roaming plan for ATT is 10$ A Day for service.
For three weeks, I'd recommend a prepaid sim to slide into your iPhone, which would cover most of that, for like a 30pound spot (I use Three wireless) on a prepaid for the month VS the 3 weeks at 10 dollars a day.
So 210$ for 21 days of ATT roaming versus 30GBP into US$ which is 41.99$.
Just some food for thought, I didn't call back home, I instead used apps, and I think there are VOIP apps for the iphone which you could use for calls if on a free wifi. Also I message when wifi is available doesn't use data.
I used my phone in both Scotland and Northern Ireland.
