Using Skype In Florence
 

Ciao,
I will be staying at the Casa Santo Nome de Gesu and need to skype daily on my MacBook. I do not think the convent is *tech savvy* so need to know if there are any free wireless areas? I have an A T & T aircard. Thanks.

Hey,

Lots of places have free wifi. Cafes and bars and always can go to an internet place but there you pay for the wifi.What's the address of that place where you staying and I'll post back where is closest to you.

Hey Andrea,
I will be there when you are in Bali probably. Feb 22-28 staying at the Casa Santo Nome di Gesu and working with an artisan friend near the Arno.

In an urban area, you might find some unsecured Wifi hotspots but I wouldn't count on it.

Best to make sure that when you book accommodations, they have Wifi and that they don't charge some exorbitant rates for it, which happens in Italy.

I would look for a cheap calling card instead.

Oh, no I will actually be back from Bali on the 10th, leave next Monday.I don't know of that place where you are staying is it on the centro side or oltro arno?

Almost all the irish bars in town have free wifi, so do alot of smaller cafes where they have appertivo. There is alittle bar around the corner from my apartment called shot cafe, at night very young american students but from like 4-8 pm it's empty and they have free wi fi. I know I walk by places all the time will try to pay attention this week and jot them down.

Isn't there a website where you can put in an address or city and it will list all the hotspots with their addresses?

I am staying on the oltro arno side but will be all over during the day. Hope to catch up with you and hear about Bali!!
