Thanks

You still will not want to dial your friends & family DIRECTLY with the prepaid cell. That will run 99 US cents per minute or so. Buy a calling card, ATT, MCI or if you have a credit card, you might try onesuite or enjoyprepaid. The rates there will be more reasonable. TRUE, if you use the cell phone as the only means to dial, you will pay the US domestic rate (say 20 cents per minute plus the overseas rate on the card - say 10 cents to Italian land line, 30 cents to Italian cell phone)

Don't know where you are staying, but if you have land line access for free, you can use the 800 (toll free) #s on the calling card and avoid the cell phone domestic charges altogether.
