Sprint with iphone 4s in Italy?

I will call sprint tomorrow, and searched 'sprint'. Didn't see any current messages. Apologies if this is an over-answered topic.

Any experience with Sprint service in Italy. I just came from a town in the US 2 hours away from home and had no service, so I would like to know if its likely to work. I understand there is lots of wifi available, plan to use skype also. But, it would be nice to get any tips.

Thanks!

should provide you all the answers you seek; you can also check w/ salesmen at your point of sale. You might have to add intn'l coverage depending on your plan, etc.

Sprint is far more expensive than AT&T if you are using a data roaming package. You have to be in a WiFi zone to use Skype, but unless the signal is strong, the iPhone 4s and 5 will not connect. There is no problem with the older iPhone 4 or 3G.

Your service coverage is going to source from local (Italian) providers since you'll be roaming. So it isn't relevant to your recent experience with Sprint.
