Would this help me communicate with my cousin coming from Italy?

I'm sorry Mary, but the Franklin is so difficult to use and the instructions are so poorly written that I've put it in my desk, (after trying to use it for three days) and have never used it. I'm not a dope (Stanford '61) but I feel you should save your money. Michael

Probably not. This is more for learning a language, one word at a time. So trying to carry on conversation could be a problem. If you have a basic knowledge of the language but need a word for something this would work. The cousin could also type in the word and the English version would show/say. But just one word at a time.

It ought to work there. When at your destination country go buy a SIM card and get some amount of Euros of phone minutes. Usually you can get started for $20 or so. Minutes are not expensive, though I can't quote any rates.

I found this article helpful when addressing that question for myself:http://goitaly.about.com/od/travelpackingtips/l/bl_electricity_italy.htm

I think so. According to the user guide, it does. It worked in Italy, Spain, and France.

Hi Saida. Yes, this should work in Italy because it's listed as working in the European Union.

If i am using one in Jamaica , you should be able to use a Bold 9700 in Italy.

It works great in Italy with a T-Mobile sim or an italian service provider. This I know from personal experience. It is portable and battery will last very long.

Thanks for the info. Although it's a gift I'll go ahead and hook it up to be sure it's going to work before sending it off to a friend.

It should work in Italy. When you get to Italy, you need to buy a "sim" card from a provider. These are widely available. This will give you an Italian phone number. I don't know what each provider charges per minute. You will then be able to contact Italian phone numbers at a reasonable price as well as an emergency number for family in the States to reach you.

I used mine in Italy with a TIM sim mid-May to early June 2014. It worked well. Be aware that not all areas of Italy have good 3G coverage; most did but not all. If you are planning to use this for Google Maps while driving around Italy, it will work very well when there is a 3G signal. At times we were glad that our rental car came with free GPS for those handful of times when TIM 3G was not available and Google Maps would not work. The lack of availability had nothing to do with this device as our iPhones with TIM sims had the same problem in these areas.

I have used it in France and Italy. The adapter I had before this one did not work in Italy. So I don't know, but this is the most amazing product. I have given it to all my nieces although no one has traveled to the countries you will be visiting. My advice would be to give it a try.

I bought it for my grandfather and sent it over seas to him. I'll ask him:)

Absolutely....but, you must seek to be as immersed in the language and culture as much as possible. Listen to music, news in Italian (RAI), watch movies and turn off the subtitles, go to Italian restaurants. The program is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it. But, like with all language learning, you must be intense and purposeful. Ciao!

if you can hear it you can communicate with it on this radio. Be careful it may be illegal to transmit there. Jim
