Need Option for Italy for One Month

I fear no Italian carriers will deliver SMS to Verizon numbers, maybe Vodfone since they belong to the same group, but I fear you'll have some problems... but maybe using some programs like SMSbug or MobiSMS it could help.

Anyway, I suggest you to buy a cheap dual-band (900/1800) phone on eBay and use it here in Europe. It's much cheaper than renting one. Then any carrier can be ok, the TimClub offer could be probably a very good solution with the best coverage and good rates. Wind has become less convenient as in the past, but for longer calls the new Wind12 (I have to update the site) is not bad... SMS will always cost 15 eurocent to Italy, while SMS to the US will cost 15 cent for Wind, while 30 cent with the others...
