Could someone please recommend a good phone card to buy at the Tabachi/newstand to call from Italy back home ?

At home I like using ones that have no connection fee and offer a good rate (.08- .14 to Italy). From what I've heard, the rates are likely better in Italy.

What card is your favorite ?

Thank You, Peter M

Peter,
I don't have recent experience with phone cards, but I do have a friend who lives in Venice who claims the "Happiness" phone cards sold in Tabacchi have the best rates for calling the US.

I buy the one to call Europe, USA and Canada..
Says EUROPA on the front made by Vectone and for 10euro I get 6 hours of calls to the States

I used to love the Europa card, but now I only use the Sisal card. For 10 euros, I get 9.5 hours back to the States.

If you do a search, you will find many past threads talking about different calling cards in Italy and how to use them.
