Cell phone service from Italy when texting/emailing is not an option
Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
When we are in Italy, I will need to make frequent, longer calls to the US to handle items for an older relative. She does not use the computer at all so email messages aren't an option. Texting is also not within her skill set.
What is the cheapest/best/most reliable way to handle calls back to the States? I have an unlocked quad-band phone that I have used with SIM cards in several countries (either buying the SIM card at the arrival airport or buying it via the internet before leaving home). Looking online, most of the SIM cards I see charge at least 50 cents/minute for calls to the US from Italy while I was hoping to find an option for less than 15 cents/minute.
Ideas?
