» Telephones

Coin-operated telephones have become almost obsolete in Italy. You can still find a few of these old-world contraptions here and there, but you'll have much more luck finding public phones that take the scheda telefonica. These plastic cards are sold in denominations of € 3.00, € 5.00, and € 7.75, and are available in tabacchis, post offices, most newsstands, and some bars. You'll need to break off the perforated corner of the card before you can use it. Remember that even the local calls are timed, so if you are using coins, be sure to put enough money in. A short local call is usually € 0.10 - € 0.21.

Note: Phone calls to land lines within Italy are quite inexpensive, but beware of numbers that start with 338, 335, 339, 349, 347, 368, 333, 388, 393 etc. If you dial one of these, you are calling a telefonino (cell phone), and even a two-minute conversation will drain your  telephone card of all its credit!

» Postal Services

Letters and postcards

Postage costs depend on the country of destination and weight. Postage for standard weight international postcards and letters varies between € 0.50 and € 1.00.

Stamps can be bought at post offices as well as at tabacchis, which have longer opening hours and are much more numerous than post offices. Letters can be posted in any of the red post boxes mounted on walls around the city. Unless you're sending something to an address within Rome, use the slot marked "Per tutte le altre destinazioni."
