Howdy:
So.....I want to take my iPhone (I phone 10) to Switzerland and Italy in Sept. I will be there a month.
I just today went to the AT&T store (my carrier) and got some rather vague answers to my questions about phone use in Switzerland and Italy. The only clear answers I got were the following:
a) Will cost me 10.00 US a day to use my phone as is via At&T but it must be unlocked upon arrival in Europe.
b) There are plans in Switzerland / Italy where I would need to get a SIM card for the phone
Given the vague info, I am not sure of the best plan available in those two countries
Years ago I had to get a separate SIM card for a Nokia phone I had back I the day - I suspect the same would be true for use in Switzerland and Italy today?
What I am looking for is an economical way to use my phone to text, call back to the States and use for google maps etc.
Thoughts on the best way to go that is economical without alot of gymnastics to use my current phone?
Thanks in advance.
