Motorcycle Gma Posted August 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Is there Wi-Fi or pay phones to contact my hotel/tour operators, if needed? I've heard there are pay phones in Italy, but not sure. How much, what euros (coins?) do I need to make local call? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do find one, they don't take coins, you have to use a phone card, sold at Tabbachi shops. Wi-fi, on the other hand is getting easier to find. Sometimes airports will offer it for free, but not always. I'm sorry that I don't know what the wi-fi situation is at Venice airport. The safest plan for contacting your hotel, tour guides, etc. is a mobile phone compatible with GSM. PAYG SIM cards are usually cheap and easy to find.

Thanks, I did consider unlocking my i-phone, but a tech guy at AT&T told me I could make calls (iphone to iphone) with wi-fi and/or use facetime without using data! I hope he's right. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
