Just wanted to be sure I've read all the info on this site correctly. I'll be in Italy for 12 days (on this trip I'm leading a group of students). I have an unlocked tri-band phone. I will be using the phone mostly to call back to the states, receive calls from the states and possibly for brief local calls. So, I can buy a Wind SIM card at the airport (flying into Rome), pop it in and I'm good to go? Will my phone be charged for incoming calls (especially from the states)? I know that's not the cheapest way for folks to reach me there but I'm sure the students' parents will be calling! Also, what's the cheapest way for me to call the states? Thanks!
