Cellular Abroad Rental Service for Italy

Take a Cellular Abroad cell phone rental phone with you on your next trip to Italy and benefit from the same low rates and excellent coverage enjoyed by millions of Italians every day! The service we offer has been custom tailored for Cellular Abroad’s English speaking travelers visiting or living in Italy; menus are in English and rates back to the US and Canada are exceptionally low at only 0.35 Euro cents per minute. Local rates to any Italian landline or cell phone are only 0.18 Euro cents per minute (rates posted below are in US Dollars and are approximate rates as currency exchanges fluctuate).

Service on the Vodafone network, the second largest provider in the world, is exceptional. The Italian Uno Mobile service we provide is prepaid, which means you do not have to sign any contracts nor will you receive any unexpected bill. When and if you need more talk time, simply buy it locally or through Cellular Abroad via our 7 days/week, USA based, toll free hotline. Lastly, while outgoing rates are inexpensive, incoming rates are even less – in fact, they are always from anywhere in the world!

IMPORTANT! If your trip to Italy is for over 2 weeks, we recommend that you consider purchasing one of our Italy phone packages as the price difference is minimal, you get a new phone that works in 200 countries, including the US and Canada, and we offer free ground shipping. For the small difference in price, the vast majority of our customers prefer to purchase rather than rent a phone for Italy.

Italy €10 Prepaid Recharge only $24.00 for €10 of talk time credit WILL ONLY WORK FOR UNO (not TIM) **Your Italian phone number must begin with 377305 or be a new customer** Save time by starting your stay in the Italy with an additional €10 of talk time. Each one of these recharges gives you about 65 minutes outgoing within Italy or 32 minutes outgoing calls to the US.

The purchase of one initial 15 Euro recharge voucher is required with any rental package; this will be automatically added to your package price upon checkout so it is not necessary to add this to your order.  If you need additional recharges they are available from Cellular Abroad as a convenient alternative to purchasing them in Italy.  Your price is $34. This will provide approximately. 42 minutes of outgoing talk time to the US, as much as 85 minutes within Italy and of course, unlimited incoming calls from anywhere. You can start off with more than one recharge voucher or you can easily add talk time during your trip.
