Question
Can I use my cellphone in Rome?
Answer
Most coffee shops (bars), restaurants, and hotels in Rome provide free wifi access if you ask for the wifi code. If you want to use your American cellphone number, you can talk to your cellphone provider to unlock your international fare. For Verizon users, your smart phone is unlocked and you can purchase a sim card for 15-20 euros at the airport, train station, or any Tabacchi store (This is what our family has done in the past). We highly recommend that at least one person in your travel group have access to their cellphones during the trip.
