My wife will be in Italy for 3 months. Cheapest phone rates from there to U.S.?

Question

She will have a phone in her apartment but cell phones might be an option as well. Also, what about purchasing cell phone and plans for use in Italy. Do they have plans that allow for free calling between cell phones on the same plan?

Answer 1

Well you can use the phone or you can always use Yahoo! messenger 8 with voice to talk for free.You can also try skype.

Answer 2

no no free calling, get an international phone card and use it from your landline phone, it's the best and cheapest way

Answer 3

It would be best for your wife to buy an "international phone card" from an Eastern Union store. The prices of phone calls are reduced by half and you can use the card on a fixed land line. Otherwise, the Italian company "3" have a good deal, where you can basically make phone calls from "3" phones to "3" phone at a very low cost, but I would not advise this method, as you have to have bank details in Italy.

Answer 4

try skype.

Answer 5

If she has a high speed Internet (no computer necessary) u can send her a device from the US, that will allow her to call u for free,

check. http://www.broadvoice.com/?referredby=80...

u have to sign up for any plan. then they will send u a device by mail, send it to your wife and she have only to connect it to the high speed Internet. and it will ready to call anywhere in the world.

PS. 24.99/month she can call up to 35 countries for free!

Answer 6

I find that using long-distance phone cards is cheaper than any phone plans.  However, make sure there's no connection fee every time you dial.  There're lots of phone card companies out there, you just need to choose the best one for your needs.  Some of them you could talk for 4 hrs straight for $10.  That's why it's important that there's no connection fee, so that you could pick up where you left off next time.

Answer 7

Cheapest phone rate is free. With wideband internet service, you could talk to your wife anytime through the PC-to-PC call (e.g. Yahoo Messenger with voice, Skype...etc).
