If you buy a SIM there (say Italy as recommended) and the outbound rate is .5 Euro (not euro cents - 1 Euro is ~ $1.30 so .5 Euros is about 65 US cents), then I recommend that your family calls YOU. You will have free inbound in Italy and they will have to pay intl LD charges to an Italian cell. My guess is with a decent US calling card that will be around $0.30 per minute, perhaps less. It's cheaper to a landline so if you happen to be in the hotel room, they could call you back on a landline #.
TRUE, you will be paying INBOUND fees with the IT SIM card in FR. Top up on your last day in IT.

Stan...just to clearify the euro is indeed broken into 100 units called cents (or referred to outside euroland as euro cents) but something costing 0,50€ would correctly be called 50 cents by some...(of course not .5 euro cents)....
