Temporary service in Italy - help please?
Posts: n/a
Two family members, who are Verizon Wireless customers here, will be
traveling to Italy in a couple of months. They'd like to have TWO cell
phones which will work in Italy to call between themselves while there.
Ability and economy of calling to the US is not a major issue.
I guess their VZW phones either won't work or will be cost-prohibitive to
use in Italy.
I have a source who may be able to provide me with loaner GSM phones, but
I'd like to make sure we are getting the right ones. What type of GSM do we
need, with what kind of SIMs, and is there a (relatively) dependable cell
service provider there? Anything I can get that works both here and there
without spending an arm and a leg? Any US providers whose service is both
reliable and economically feasible in Italy?
Since they will only be there two weeks, any type of contract is out of the
question. A decent prepaid SIM would probably be perfect.
I just don't know who to get it from, or what kind of phones I need.
Forgive all the questions at once. I read up a lot on US cellular service
and equipment, but having never traveled to Europe, I know next to nothing
about their equipment/service/capabilities.
Someone here who makes occasional trips to Italy probably knows exactly what
we need.
Thank you in advance.
