I am traveling to Italy this summer and will be in Tuscany and Venice for one week. My motorola phone will work in Italy, but cingular will charge me $1.29 per minute. I expect to use my phone to call the US a few times a day for short calls.

- Should I buy a SIM card in Italy?

- If so, which card should I buy (and where)? I am flying into Bologna.

- If the coverage is different for TIM/Wind and Von, am I better off paying for the Cingular coverage which I'm told will use the local service with the best reception at any given location?

Thank you in advance for your advice.
