Would you like for the cost of the dollar, yet affordable, either for low-cost flights, but there are so many of our compatriots who have chosen this year as a holiday destination the United States of America.
Omitting any raids over Apple Store (as of 5th Avenue), unforeseen expenses can be an important chapter of the budget of the holiday. Among these, one of the least considered but, unfortunately, often heavier, the phone bill is due to the often exorbitant costs of international roaming, mainly for data connections.

The most obvious solution is to exploit the myriad of hot-spot WiFi on American soil in this way navigation and phone calls (with Skype or other VoIP services to iPhone) weigh not that much.

Sometimes, however, take advantage of this option is not possible and so the more experienced travelers may think of a trick often used by those who go in the other European countries: buying a local prepaid SIM, in fact, often makes it possible to lower the cost of telephone calls.
In Europe and in many other countries there are particular difficulties, but in the U.S. things are in a hair different.

For an iPhone user, the first reasonable option would be to go to a store for AT & T, the largest U.S. mobile operator, and exclusive of Apple iPhone. This attempt, however, will be doomed to failure, since AT & T does not provide more data plans for profiles rechargeable and, indeed, no longer distributes rechargeable SIM without the simultaneous purchase of a mobile. Unless you sign a two-year contract (which is not too smart to grab a tourist-and-go), you better forget this carrier.

The main competitor of AT & T, T-Mobile, on paper seems to have good alternatives in the catalog: shame that the SIM card of this rechargeable carrier seem unavailable in the store to the stars and stripes. Also found, however, should come to terms with the inability to connect to UMTS (the network of T-Mobile does not support this technology) and costs for international calls uncompetitive.

Use other players is even more complicated: Verizon is just now starting to cover the territory with GSM technology, while others actually are territorial and if you move up the various costs were rising.

To the best solution, therefore, is to text back: keep close our Italian SIM, disable data roaming and let a WiFi and VoIP.
And, above all, let’s enjoy the holidays!
