Phone card bought here.
Can I use a prepaid phone from Sams to make calls out of Italy on a payphone? That way I can call home whenever I wanted. Are these AT&T prepaid cards good outside of the US? I would rather do this if it is possible. I really don't want to carry a cell phone around for two weeks just in case my kids(they are 16, and 17) and are staying with relatives want to call and chat.

Hi Karen. On the reverse of the phone card, you can call the customer service number and ask them precisely how many minutes it uses to make a call from Italy. Also, if you use a pay phone, there may be a usuage just because it is a pay phone. I know there is a nine minute charge for using them in the States from a pay phone. But not from your hotel.<BR>Just dial the access code for that country before you dial to the States.<BR>The last time I checked, they were only 3.5 cents per minute.

Karen, Clark Howard (saving money guru) recently discussed using cards from Sams and Costco's overseas. You might want to check his website - which I believe is clarkhoward.com - to see if he has any information on the cards. Good luck - the idea of telephoning from overseas scares me: in Venice, I called home and had to give personal calling card information to an operator. $3000 later the phone company assured me I wasn't responsible for the charges. Apparently the operator sold the information. The prepaid cards are a great idea.
