I just ordered a Verizon cell phone for use in Italy to call home. The per minute cost is very expensive and I'm looking for a cheaper alternative, maybe buying something with email and phone capability, possibly installing Skype. Also, the connectivity in southern Italy and Sicily may not be good.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
