Don't forget that you can use a "Dialoga International" with Wind
Cheaper international calls
As you can see on the tariff pages, the international tariffs for calling your home-country from an Italian mobile are rather high, everywhere you live! But there is quite a good solution from Wind. Buy a Wind prepaid card at just 10 euros (with 5 euros of preloaded airtime, and there are often promotions on new activations too), then find a Wind "Dialoga International" prepaid international card. Those cards are not sold at Wind official shops (quite weird, isn't it?), but at newstands (Edicole) and tobacco shops (Tabacchi), but it's not easy to find. You could have more chances at airports and bigger train stations. Once you find them, you can choose between € 5.- and € 10.- value of airtime. For dialing from a Wind mobile phone just dial the toll free number: 800 905 500, enter your code and you are ready to go. Tariffs depend on the country and there are usually higher tariffs for calling a mobile phone (mostly in European countries); there is a complete list, in Italian, here. You can use the Dialoga International card also from landline numbers, public phones and mobile phones of different operators, but the prices are higher, as you can see on the table.
