Teleconomy Internazionale - free calls to UK

[rosietat]

Has anyone signed up to Telecom Italia - Teleconony Internazionale, unlimited calls to Europe and USA? I have got my new land line, very quick and efficient, as they could use some existing poles. However every time I ring 187 to find the economy offers I get as far as other offers available and the line sounds busy.
This tariffe sounds too good to be true, 10 euro per month to call whenever and without limits.
There also seems to be Opzione Internazionale which advertises 60 cents per 5 mins to Europe.
Any experiences?

Joined this nearly two years ago. It's just what it says it is... after the €10 per month - it's TOTALLY FREE!

I get unlimited free calls to Europe, plus the same to North America (USA + Canada). My bills tell me how many minutes I've used and show 'No Charge'!

Once I'd set up Skype on my PC I did consider cancelling Teleconomy Internazionale as I can call free aywhere with that. BUT, with that, people need to be on the 'net'. Yes I know you can pay for Skype credits and call anyone on a land line for ridiculously low sums of money per minute - and I do that too. However I have decided NOT to cancel Teleconomy, as recently I've had my PC fail - and numerous occaisions when the 'net' is down (all beyond my control), but luckily I could still keep in contact (almost) free of charge even without the 'net'!

If you register with the 187 website you should be able to do it all online.

There is a low cost per minute service. I think 7 or 8 cents per minute. If you aren't making lots of calls this might be a better service.

We signed up when we arrived last september. Our last bill showed 76 hours international calls at no cost. Fantastic value for the 20 euro the 2 months cost us.

PS, I still cant imagine how we managed more than 1 hour of international calls a day!

Hi All
Is this a landline based system or Voip ?

[Nielo]

I also use Teleconony Internazionale, It is a real boon, when my kids or friends ring me, I t5ell them to put the pjone down and ring them straight back, as it costs me no money apart from the monthly charge.

It is a great system and works well. There is also Teleconomy Internet, which gives unlimited dial up internet access (not fast) for just 10 € + IVA.

Does this 10 euros a month cover all your Italian calls as well as international ones? Is it also for the land line? ie. Do you just literally pay 10 euros a month and that`s it? Sounds too good to be true!!

[NickZ]

No the 10 Euros is just the international calls. You need to pay for the line and whatever else you need. Still if you're making lots of calls even with the fixed line costs it ends up cheaper.
