I have been told by my cell company that our cell phones will not work in Italy or Greece.. If I want one that will work there I would have to open a new lines and sign a contract that would be cost prohibitive. My partner and I only need cell phone for an emergency if we lose each other in a crowd.. It would be nice to be able to make a reservation on the net while there but not critical.. What can we do? Does Italy have cell phones for rent or what? Michelle Campbell Valrico FL

Michelle, For me Eurobuzz worked perfectly! They assign you a telephone number based in the U.K. It is a Direct Dial system and not a Call Back type. Furthermore, the reception was very good. I also liked their billing system per minute, which compared to other options, was very reasonable. When I got home and checked my billing (they bill to your credit card), all charges were legit, per the agreement. There were other functions such as texting and voicemail that I did not use, but are included. I believe the phone and charger are around $29.00 and the charge is 79 cents per minute. You can verify this on their website: www.eurobuzz.com I only used it for making restaurant reservations, confirming hotel reservations and for emergencies. Thus, Eurobuzz worked great.
