My partner's mother is about to move from France to Italy. I found her a reasonable call provider in France that cost 2 - 4 €cents per minute for international calls. From the UK I use 18185 which is even cheaper at 0.5p per minute.

I have been searching for the Italian equivalent of these kind of services, and I'm a bit lost. Not speaking Italian doesn't help my internet search. I wonder if anyone can recommend the cheapest way to make international calls from Italy (mostly to France, USA, Germany and UK). I have read that you can buy phonecards from the post office, which sounds a little impractical. I also found the call2.com service, but it also doesn't seem practical for frequent calls as you have to call a UK number, hang up, then pick up the phone when called back and only then, dial your international number.

Can anyone recommend a cheap, and hopefully practical alternative?

Thanks in advance,
