After great advice and my analysis of the descriptions of the three companies and review of the excellent National Operator pages, I am going to advise my family to buy Vodafonr Italy (Omnitel) People cards on arrival. I will recommend trying to get the 25-Euro cards with 26 Euros of credit for the big talkers in the family.

For a short visit the rates don't matter so much. As an one who helped start several operators in Africa and GrameenPhone in Bangladesh, I prefer 900 MHz, even in cities, unless 450 MHz. CDMA is available.

I will let forum know if reality matches theory. I also plan the try the Vodafone Passport for any of the family who can get back to Europe, even if they have to add credits over the Internet to keep their numbers active. Those with fancy phones, not me, might even try GPRS.

Thanks again, Happy New Year, and lets hope for a fun and peaceful Olympics.
