TELEPHONE

PUBLIC TELEPHONES ARE AVAILABLE throughout Italy. Telephone kiosks now only accept phonecards, (Carta Telefonica), which can be purchased at post offices, tobacconists, newsagents or “bar” (coffee shops).

There is probably no more expensive way to call home than by using the many operator calling-card services. By using Italian pre-paid international or local (national) phone cards and public phones you will save lots of money.

Be sure to break off the corner of the card before inserting into phone otherwise it may not work. Both local and long distance call require the proper area code before dialing the number.

Ex: to place a call within Siena you must dial 0577 + phone number. To call Rome from Siena : 06 + phone number; to call Siena from Rome : 0577 + phone number. When calling a cellular phone, drop the zero of the area code, ex: 338 + phone number of the cellular.

Mobile phones: the GSM system covers the whole nation, the costs depend on the roaming agreement between your home country's provider and the corresponding Italian companies. The main cell phone companies are TIM, Wind, Omnitel and Blu.

Calling Italy from the USA: 011 + area code (the 0 should be left out) + phone number
Example: a call from New York City to Rome would be dialed as follows: 011 + 39 + 6 + phone number. (Rome area code is 06)

Calling USA from Italy: 001 + area code + phone number
