I'm going to Italy...how can i keep in touch?
I'm going to Italy for over a week on Monday and I want to know the best way to keep in touch with my family...I have a couple of questions... I have an AT&T cell phone...can I still text or not? Should I bring my laptop for use in the hotel or does it not work?

1 :
speak to your cell phone provider they should be able to give you roaming which allows texting and calls. laptops work fine
2 :
texting is always less expensive. get an international phone rate for any phone to be used for calling, it will be cheaper. don't bother lugging your laptop, hotels have computers you can use & internet cafes are everywhere.
3 :
Regarding your phone, you must have a 900/1800Mhz capable model. If you have an American only model (850/1900), non way! Regarding Internet, unfortunately in Italy some lows forbids free access. So you will find wireless only in expensive hotels, they will require you a payment an registration. Very few airports and some filling stations have wireless. Few hotels have an RJ45 connector, but as well, you will be required to register and ti pay.
4 :
If you have a world phone yes;texting is easier and cheaper.
5 :
I just got back from italy (florence and rome) i have AT&T and didn't get an international plan. Calls were $1.00 a min and to my surprise (just got the bill), texting was free! i have an unlimited plan here in the U.S, but i didn't think it work in Europe! I took my laptop and the hotel and hostel i stayed in both had free wifi if you have your own computer. If you're only going to be there for a week, i would say try not to have too much contact because it might take away from the experience. Enjoy

Apple Products Or Italy
Apple Products Or Italy?
Okay guys, I need your opinions here. In year 9, I have a $7000 trip to Italy. Although, my parents say, If i want an iPad, iPhone, Laptop and all the other stuff i want, I cant go to italy. Would you take the $7000 to buy anything you want? Or would you go to Italy? Mostly all my friends are saying take the $7000 because you can always go to Italy but, What would you choose?

Don't choose Italy, Its Epicly boring. I went for my highschool trip. You just go see landmarks and stuff. It'd choose the ipad and shit
3 :
Apple products, you can go to Italy on your own for less when you're older. Also, if it's for school, you won't have much freedom to go around and do the thing and go to the places you want i'm assuming. Better to take the $7000, spend $3500 on apple products, and save the rest to go to italy after you graduate (maybe your parents can help you pay for it for graduation if it isn't enough.)

I am leaving for italy in august and i plan on bringing my laptop with me, what adapter or converter do i need
i am worried because i have been researching this and many people have had their lap tops fried by plugging it into an adapter and it sparked and just went out. What do i need to do so that i can charge my computer over there while im in italy? i hope someone can help me and i would very much appreciate respectful not rude answers.

You need to find out if your computer can handle 110v and 220v or just 110 (check the power cord). European electricity runs 220volts, so if your charger only says 110v, you need to get a converter to change the voltage. Then you need to purchase an Italian adapter (go to any travel store and they will have them). The adapter shouldn't be but a few dollars, the converter though can get a little pricey, maybe $10. I'd say go to a travel store and buy a kit with a converter and adapters for most European countries... might as well have them on hand just in case you ever go somewhere other than Italy. Search travel adapter or converter on google and you can find some good prices as well

The only issue will be service for warranty work.
2 :
You might have a power supply adapter issue. Buy a laptop that shows 110/220 Volts on the power supply. Then buy the appropriate PLUG adapter, so you can plug that in back home. That adapter should cost just $20. It should not be one of the transformer style of adapter. It would work, but why use a transformer when you don't need it. Look at Toshiba FIRST. Buy the way, you might check for that availability of tech support for the brand that you BUY in Italy. So if you do buy a Toshiba, learn about their tech support service in Italy for a computer that was BOUGHT in the USA. Visit http://www.toshiba.it/ and read all about it. Your second choice would be HP. Have a great trip in the USA. If you visit New York, go to the Statue of Liberty, but get there very early in the morning to catch the first boat. The lines can be very long.
3 :
before you get there you should update your antivirus software, check to make sure that your power adapter is dual voltage and you can buy an adapter for the european style outlet when you get there, or you can look for one at sharper image but those are kinda expensive compared to waht you can get them for in italy, the only other thing i could forsee is the language barrier between you and your Internet Service Provider and that warranty issue, but i live in germany and have been able to find reps for those countries easily so no big deal there

I'd suggest waiting until you get there. We were in Italy a year ago. We brought adapters with us, but they weren't the right ones. There are stores that have hundreds of them and they are inexpensive. Take you laptop and camera with you and they will sell you what you need. Have you looked into using Skype while your there? We did and it's a great way to stay in touch with everyone back home. have a wonderful semester.
2 :
W stands for Watt, not for Volt, so you should check a different information given on the label. Anyway: look on the transormers of your devices: if they says "50/60 Hz, 120-220 V", you just need a plug adaptor. That's very likable for your camera and laptop, but for appliances like the hairdryer almost for sure you need a voltage converter. Be also careful about the consumption (any device), the Watt part: the W on the label must be not higher than the W on the label of the converter; so if your hairdryer says "2000 W", definitely better not using it with a converter up to 1600 W.
3 :
Check the labels on your equipment. Most laptops and digital cameras are voltage compatible anywhere in the world. Italy uses 3 types of plugs. Check out www.kropla.com/worldwide electric guide. This site will tell you everything you need to know about electricity and many other things anywhere in the world. We travel a lot and all our electronics are dual voltage (100-230v 50/60 hz) so we do not need voltage converters. Voltage converters were invented to drive the traveler crazy. It seems you never have the correct one and they are always broken

If you are referring to a wall outlet adapter you can just buy one off any store, since the adapter box that's between the cable of your laptop takes care of giving you the right voltage and amperage

Why is my laptop shocking me when I charge it in Europe
Why is my laptop shocking me when I charge it in Europe?
I'm studying abroad in Italy and I'm using an adaptor to charge my American Apple laptop. Whenever my laptop is plugged in it makes a buzzing sound and recently I can actually feel an electrical charge coming from my laptop when I touch it. It charging correctly, but I'm not sure if this is safe for my laptop? Any help?

1 :
the voltage might be too much for your laptop to handle. check the battery pack on the laptop and see what voltage it takes then see what the voltage is on the charger pack. be careful as to not giving too much voltage into the laptop or it will fry your battery
2 :
Europe has a different standard voltage than America does. Most newer laptops have an Input of 100 to 240 Volts, and 50-60 Hz. Your laptop AC adapter brick should list the voltage range its capable of handling. If its not capable of handling the higher voltage, then you will need a converter to plug your laptop into which will convert the voltage to something your laptop can use. If it is capable of handling this voltage then it is possible you have a short somewhere that is electrifying your case. If this happens in every outlet you plug it into, I would check your AC adapter to make sure it is putting out the proper voltage. Good luck!
3 :
Probably not grounded. Italy uses 220VAC 50 hz so your charger should handle that. But it appears the electrical system where you are using it is not properly grounded. Try reversing the plug at the outlet if it is not a three prong plug like in the USA

1 :
the voltage might be too much for your laptop to handle. check the battery pack on the laptop and see what voltage it takes then see what the voltage is on the charger pack. be careful as to not giving too much voltage into the laptop or it will fry your battery
2 :
Europe has a different standard voltage than America does. Most newer laptops have an Input of 100 to 240 Volts, and 50-60 Hz. Your laptop AC adapter brick should list the voltage range its capable of handling. If its not capable of handling the higher voltage, then you will need a converter to plug your laptop into which will convert the voltage to something your laptop can use. If it is capable of handling this voltage then it is possible you have a short somewhere that is electrifying your case. If this happens in every outlet you plug it into, I would check your AC adapter to make sure it is putting out the proper voltage. Good luck!
3 :
Probably not grounded. Italy uses 220VAC 50 hz so your charger should handle that. But it appears the electrical system where you are using it is not properly grounded. Try reversing the plug at the outlet if it is not a three prong plug like in the USA

Voltage convertor for Italy
Voltage convertor for Italy?
Live in United States, going to Italy. Planning on taking electronics like my laptop, hair blow dryer, hair straightner, etc. I believe I need to take a convertor. Would you clue me in, what is the best thing to take so my things won't die in Italy? LOL

You may/may not need a converter. Do you have a travel store? Take the items that you are wanting to take with you into the store and they will read the code to tell you if you need or converter or can get my with a modified plug. Most of the newer equipment, you can get by with just using a modified plug...easier that way, less heavy and cumbersome. Have a blast in Italy...my favorite place.
2 :
Bring your own converters, as many hotels don't have that accessibility. You will need for certain type of electronics, as your laptop

I am going to Italy for 3 and a half week in late May, and I REALLY want to take my iPad and keep my laptop at home. However I didn't know if the 3G will work over in Italy? and if so will there be extra charges? How much are the extra charges? Or can I just get a SIM card over there, but will the SIM card work?

The tax would depend on the physical location of the store the laptop is either bought or shipped from, and if shipped, whether your Aunt lives in that state. Shipping cost would depend on where in Italy it is going

I want to go but I don't know if I should just wait till I go to a university and then spend the money to study abroad there or just do it while I'm in community college I need help I only have till Saturday to decide and I'm lost please help here are some info about the programe here is an overview of the program: Florence, Italy Fall 2011 Departure date: Thursday September 22, 2011 Return date: Saturday November 26, 2011 AIFS will serve as the provider for services related to this program Classes will start approximately six weeks prior to departure at Southwestern College.

That's actually cheap, considering many of your expenses will be covered and you will be getting good quality. If you're not convinced, ask a college counselor about it.
3 :
First, I would ask to see if the university you are attending will receive foreign credit. Many US/ British Univerisities will receive foreign credit directly. That would cut your price in half. I'm not sure if you are "sold out" on Italy. If not, I would consider :Costa Rica, Thailand, or Czech Republic. All would be half price. It would also matter whether you need 6 credit hours or could just take 3. Many times people just want to enjoy a summer abroad and do not reallly consider the fact that the second set (credit 4-6) usually adds $1,500 to the bill. Finally, the price is middle of the road. There are some that are cheaper, but usually do not include a roundtrip ticket. I researched Germany last year and the cost of living is higher in Germany than Italy. I found a couple exceptions in Germany that were $2,500 US plus a plane ticket. I would imagine that it would be a little cleaper for the best deals. Many, Many, cummunity colleges in the US offer summer abroad to Italy. It is the #1 destination of study abroad for community colleges. Take a look around and you will find $4,500-$5,500 in Italy I am sure

Wifi on the plane currently depends on the ability to reach towers on the ground. Accordingly, when you're over the ocean, there will be no service. I've heard that there's a company planning to do satellite-based Internet on planes, but I don't believe that's yet in production

Moving to Rome, Italy
Moving to Rome, Italy?
I might be moving to Rome, Italy in a few years but I am not sure yet. Just wondering, currently if I am a US citizen am I allowed to take my Dell laptop with Windows XP into Italy or is this not allowed? How is housing? Is it like the U.S. with neighborhoods or totally different? I'd be moving with my family, and there is 5 of us all together. How does it work to take pets? Is this allowed? I have a small adult beagle. Is there internet available at the hotels or residential parts of Italy? Any and all information on Italy and Rome, Italy would be greatly appreciated.

If it is your personal computer then you can bring it with you. Housing in Italy is generally much smaller than the uSA and normally in the cities you would live in an apartment. You do have different neighborhoods like in the USA. It is difficult to take pets and they normally have to go into quarantine. Internet is available everywhere.

It's very unlikable you don't have neighborhood, if you live in Italy, unless you deliberately choose to find a "quiet" place (if that is what you mean).

I moved to Italy almost over 4 years ago. You can bring your Dell computer you can bring what ever you want. If your dell is only 110v then you are going to have to get tranformes along with anything else that is 110v. If its 110-220v 50-60h you can just get an adoptor plug. Housing is very costly right now our rent is E900 which equals $1275 because of the exchange rate now. Housing is usually good. They have big houses usually close together with little to no grass. They like to build up so you may have a 3-4 level house they do have apartments but for 5 people you most likely will need to rent a house/villa. You can bring your dog we have a dog we got him here but many of our friends have brought there dogs from the states. You need to go to the vet. and get some paper work done and shots and certificate of heath usually no earlier then 10 days before the flight and then you need to check with you airline for other stuff. When you get here with your dog you need to get him on frontline the Italian or germany one because they have bad sandflyes and ticks put only dogs seem to get them not people. Then you need to get this msquito collar for the dog because the msquito carry this diesease that is like doggie aids and it will kill your dog if it get bit by a bug carring it but it kills the dog slowly. They do have internet serivce its called ADSL. they have three different companies Telecom which is the phone company for your house phone. and two others suck big time and they just use the Telecom hardware anyway so it does not work well. Most places have ADSL but you need to check it out when you are looking for a place. It also usually takes a while to hook it up it took us almost 6 months. any other questions let me know

They offer you a lot of services, but really, you can get them with half of that price! If you go alone or with friends. A room in Florence 2 months cost from 300 to 600 eur each months, total from 600 to 1200 eur total. Excursions and museums aren't expensive, and you would choose which you prefer. Also, you would really join the italian life and way of life, learning to speak italian.. 'cause generally with groups of students you pass a lot speaking your own language. Then, the price of the flight, but it's probable that for that you would spend the same money. In conclusion, of course alone (or with one or some friends) you would spend much less, but I don't know if you can at the same join the students program. Also, you have to be 18. Don't worry about safety, it's safe. If you're only looking for community programs, I don't know if it's one of the most expensive, but sure it's expensive. Hope I've been helpful

Ciao, It isn't clear what you'll be studying at this program. Is it an Italian language course? Will you be earning credits for your degree back home? Would you like to study abroad as part of your studies or do you just want to come to Italy to travel and have the experience? US $6,770 for two months is not a lot if it includes tuition (the cost of your studies) since it also covers airfare (from where? plane tickets from the US east coast sometimes cost half of what they cost from the western states), shared apartment, students medical insurance (required for studying in Italy), the museum pass and 2 days out. Keep in mind it doesn't include books, which are expensive, your personal expenses and FOOD, in addition to other various fees. So you're really looking at spending a few thousand more as part of the experience, I'd say at least $2000 more for food and the various other expenses not included. Studying abroad is a wonderful experience, I'd recommend it for everyone. But it is different from just visiting as a tourist, it is not cheap and it is part of the same investment you are making in your future as is college, whether it is a community one, state one or private. My personal recommendation is to ask yourself how the two months fit in your general plans.... because traveling here for a few weeks as a tourist would be cheaper! If the program is part of your studies, then just plan on a bigger budget than the program lists as their cost, you need to cover all the extra expenses not covered. Search and see what other similar programs cost as well. It is hard to know if it is too expensive, not knowing where you're flying from and whether the fee covers your class(es)

How can I tell if I have monitoring software installed on my computer
How can I tell if I have monitoring software installed on my computer?
Before I spend allot of money on my laptop for a technician to check to see if monitoring software has been installed on my laptop. How can I tell if my boyfriend of 1 year has installed monitoring software on my laptop? We went on vacation to Italy, and when we got back he started acting insecure just because a man I never met told me I was sexy when we were out on the town.

You could go into task manager and look for any odd processes running. You could also try a whole mess of other programs to check for it. Maybe an anti-virus will pick up on it? But if I were you, I would trust him. If you honestly think he did, talk to him about it. If he says he didn't and you find out he did, you have a problem. But honestly, I think your the one being insecure.

I always ask myself this question when I travel. Bring your cell phone if it's GSM and supports 900-1800 frequencies. If not, leave it at home. If you have work to do then bring your laptop but I hate lugging a laptop around on my vacations. The only reason I usually bring it is to watch movies on the plane and store my pictures. Bring a book instead. Bring multiple memory cards or a digital wallet that lets your store your memory cards. Other than that, you're on vacation. Get off your computer. If you really need e-mail or internet find an internet cafe.

Is 116.76 For USA To Italy Shipping Acceptable
Is 116.76 For USA To Italy Shipping Acceptable?
I listed a 7lb laptop on eBay worth about $700 and a bidder interested in buying it asked me for a shipping quote to Italy. He gave me in info and UPS & Fedex are quoting me ridiculous prices (FEDEX $116.76, UPS even went as far as $200!) this can't be right? Maybe i should just call directly for a quote.

i dont think it is
2 :
It's high, but not terribly surprising. I wouldn't pay that much for shipping a laptop because it would offset the difference between the price here in Italy and there. Generally, I just wait until I fly into the US on a trip and bring things back with me because it's both cheaper and faster.
3 :
Fedex and UPS are overnight couriers. And a flat envelope weighing less than 8 oz usually costs about $50. So for a 7 lb laptop the freight sounds about right. To get the shipping cost down you need to check with the US post office, and ask about the options not only for express freight but also for slower (and therefore cheaper) freight. I should also point out that there are sometimes restrictions on exporting electronics from the US - please be very careful and know the rules before you ship that laptop overseas

How can I keep in touch in the U.S. while traveling in Italy?
Rental for international cell phones is expensive, my laptop may not work due to voltage. How can I tell? Also, if a hotel there has WiiFi, will my computer work? Will I-Touch work there so I could use texting?

Yes you laptop will work might have to get a different plug for it ,but they are all the same world over. Now you have yahoo ,but do you know about Yahoo Voice ,it is great I use it and save a great deal of money calling all over the world to and from USA .You buy time in blocks of 10 bucks or 20 ,then it is about penny minute to call USA from overseas. Set it up here in the States before you go ,makes it a lot easier to use (trust me ) and you can also use computer to computer messenger free !
3 :
What kind of cell phone do you have? If you have a smartphone ask your service provider to switch you to an international plan and you can switch back once you return. Granted it will cost more, but it will be comparable to you renting an international cell phone. Yes your laptop will pick up the hotel WiFi. You can also Skype which is cheaper vs. calling home on a cell. However you do have to do this through your phone and it will not be the most convenient. There is always e-mail.

Most hotels offer internet. Free of charge, usually, as it is included in the price of your stay. If all else fails, that is the way to go.
5 :
You can get an Italian SIM for your cell phone from any of the local phone companies here. My daughter got one from Vodaphone, but only because that was the first phone store she ran across in Venice. Yes, your laptop will work with the WiFi if the hotel has it. Some places, like the Hotel Verona in Verona, have free wireless internet. There are also a lot of public internet access sites in the major tourist cities. You'll need your passport to buy time

You can also Skype which is cheaper vs. calling home on a cell. However you do have to do this through your phone and it will not be the most convenient. There is always e-mail.

Most hotels offer internet. Free of charge, usually, as it is included in the price of your stay. If all else fails, that is the way to go.
5 :
You can get an Italian SIM for your cell phone from any of the local phone companies here. My daughter got one from Vodaphone, but only because that was the first phone store she ran across in Venice. Yes, your laptop will work with the WiFi if the hotel has it. Some places, like the Hotel Verona in Verona, have free wireless internet. There are also a lot of public internet access sites in the major tourist cities. You'll need your passport to buy time

How do I configure my laptop to connect to the US internet
How do I configure my laptop to connect to the US internet?
I just cam back from Italy and someone configured my laptop there so that I could connect to the internet, but now I cannot connect to the internet back home in the US. How do I reconfigure my laptop so that it works again with any US internet network?

Your network settings depend on what is specified by the internet provider. It could change even within the US if you shifted from one provider to another. I recommend that you ask your network provider for instructions. If they have a HelpDesk, call up and ask, they would probably give you step-by-step instructions

In Italy for internet we have adsl connection: they should have a modem router with a ethernet cable that you can use attached to your laptop. If they don't have ADSL but the dial-up internet connection, forget it: is SO SLOW! About la fonera: very few people in Italy are using it, it's easier to find an open wifi on the street

Internet in Italy: best option for a few months in Urbino
Internet in Italy: best option for a few months in Urbino?
I'm going to be spending the better part of the summer in Urbino, Italy, and I need daily access to the internet-- I'd prefer not to have to pay at the cafe everyday, and I won't be able to use dial-up or ethernet or anything like that. I'm looking for something like sprint's mobile broadband cards that you can just pop in your laptop. Does Italy have anything like this that would work in Urbino?? Probably going to go with a prepaid option with TIM... does this require any subscription? Would the best option to be to wait until I get to Urbino to buy the prepaid card/pc card at a TIM store or would it be better to shop online? Is it likely that someone at the store will be able to explain it to me in english? i know the language, but not well enough to discuss technical mumbo-jumbo...

You mean 120 Volts, and you should be able to find them at ANY electronics retailer.
2 :
Your best bet is looking it up on ebay and purchasing it on there it is cheaper and will work as good as any you could find in a store. But if you are not an online advocate than your BestBuy is what you are probably going to want to check out. They have representatives that can take care of all the details for you also if you have more questions

Hello I'm going to Italy to study next semester and need some sort of converter for my laptop and camera
Hello I'm going to Italy to study next semester and need some sort of converter for my laptop and camera.?
I have a MAC and I am not sure if I need a special adapter since I've been told that in Italy the apt.'s are old and frequently american electronics cause shorts in the apt.'s and you can't use more than one item in each room. Do I just need a simple adapter, or do I need a voltage converter? Thanks.

You just need a "normal" adapter for Italian plugs; Italy is one of the most modern and industrialized Country in the world, the kind of old electrical that may cause problem like the one you mention are even illegal... As for voltage converter, generally are not needed: transformers generally works from 110 to 240 V; look straight on your notebook, it must be written on the label on the transformer itself

My sister is moving to Florence, Italy right before Christmas. What gift should I give her for the holidays?
She's already got a laptop, a camera, a journal, and etc. I need something creative. Something she may not have thought of. Something I'm not thinking of. All suggestions welcome. (And whatever it is, it has to be able to be cleared through airport security.) :)

There's a really cool place where you can get some very interesting jewelry. www.alexandchloe.com I'd suggest something along those lines, if that's her personality. Also, try to figure out what kind of music she's interested in. I know I always love to get CDs.

wow, getting to move to Italy would be a good enough Christmas present for me!! Hmm, how about some prepaid long distance phone cards? Or a personalized photo album for her to start keeping her memories of Italy in?
5 :
Power converter plugs for her electronics so they will work on the different current used in Europe.
6 :
Have you seen the picture frames that you can record your voice on? Maybe a pic of you and her with a special message from you that she can listen too whenever she needs to. Believe me, she will need to hear the sound of your voice. I think Hallmark has them.
7 :
This is a fun question to answer. It's also a tough one. Relax about it. Remember she is going to another country. When she is over there, she will like remembering you by something that is you, and that is American. Maybe ask yourself what you would like to have. What gift is an expression of you. Something that expresses your interest and hobbies. Something that is you and where you are from. Do you have pictures of the two of you doing something really great? Perhaps get her something nice that can have that picture included in it. A great scrap book is also another idea. Just make it personal. Something that holds a memory the two of you love to keep.
8 :
family portraits, photos of the home, stationary a Visa or Master Card gift card because they can be used on the Internet like a credit card, travelers checks,
9 :
I thought of a compass to find her way home, but I guess you'd convert that to 2006 it'd be a GPS device. An atlas, or pictures of America or your state. Many of the items have been suggested. I'd second the phone card idea, as I have been overseas and calls home are $$$$. Merry Christmas to you both

Traveling to Europe (Italy,Swistzerland, Spain, Germany and France) using laptop necessary gear to plug?
I have an xpsm1210 from dell and need to know what do I need to plug it to the 230V@50Hz electric service in Europe
Other - Europe - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
The power supply that comes with the laptop should accept 230 V@50 Hz as well as US voltage/current, so you do not need a voltage converter. You can check the label on the power supply to verify this. You will only need the plug adapter that converts from the US style two flat prongs to the European two round prongs for the countries you've listed. I've used my laptops in all of these countries with no problems. If you go to the UK, you will need a different plug adapter - they're widely available and relatively inexpensive.
2 :
All AC adapters for dell XPS notebooks have a multiple power input from 100-240 volts. You just need a plug adapter to fit it in the wall outlet (type C of attached link) which is commonly used in continental europe for appliances not requiring grounding.
3 :
just need a plug to fit European outlets. That little box on the cable converts it all, you don't need a special adapter
