Using an international SIM card for an iPhone?

I'm studying abroad in the fall for almost 4 months and will be putting my phone to "sleep" at a cost of $10 a month here In the states. I want to buy an international SIM card for when I arrive in Italy so that I don't have to put a new phone in Italy. Does anyone know the cost and what is included in buying an international SIM card. The fee in mins, where can I call, texts, Internet, can I still use Wi-Fi? Serious answers only.

4 months? Then you should consider to buy a local SIM. Anyway to answer your question I travelled to Italy (Trieste) for a Summer School for 15 days (just 1 week ago) and I made some research for international SIM cards to find the cheapest one. The one that I used is mysims2go (http://www.mysims2go.com/), it had the cheapest rates that I could find. You can check the prices and call costs to the url below:

Of course you can still use Wi-Fi, why not? Download whatsapp and rebtel and tell your friends to do the same in order to contact them for free using Wi-Fi. But I should warn you, that VOIP services are usually unstable and bad quality.

  • Using an old iPhone with international sim? I'm going to be studying abroad in Ireland from January through May of this year. I just got a new iphone 8 last week and I still have my old iphone 6. I was planning on keeping my iphone 6 so I can use an international sim to get phone calls, data, etc. Since I've already activated my new phone and taken my old phone off the account, will I need to call verizon and have them unlock my old one(iphone 6)?
