My wife and I are going to, mostly Italy (for 7 days) and Paris (for 3 days). We're planning on purchasing an international package for her IPhone so we can stay in touch a bit with family back home and access the web when we don"t have wifi. But I would like to have a phone to stay in touch with her in case we're separated or just doing different stuff for a while - simple texting and a bit of voice should suffice. What's a good price for a phone I could pick up in Paris (where we'll be first) that will also work in Italy? Or do you need to get a separate SIM card and phone plan for each country? I'm finding this a bit confusing. The only think I think I know is that it doesn't make sense for me to purchase any kind of International Plan (through att) for a second phone in Europe for me given how little I plan on using it.
And, by the way, I posted this in the Italy forum only because we'll mostly be in Italy.
