I do not own a cell phone, but I would like to have something while I am in Italy. Does anyone know which pay as you go phone has the best international plan? Of course I am doing my own research, but just wanted to get other people's thoughts.

Beth: Yes, we're trying to get the word out:Dozens or even hundreds of answers to your questions are waiting for you in the vast Helpline archives of prior discussions.But it's a waste of time to attempt to use the built-in search box in the upper right of this page. To get your question answered really well, use the search method described in the post I linked you to. And then you'll be one of the few to know the secret to unlocking the dozens of answers to many questions--usually many more answers than we can provide here in current time.
