Call Italy from the USA: Live Rates and Dialing
From the United States, an Italian landline costs $0.03 per minute on Ringvoo right now, and an Italian mobile costs $0.10 per minute. A 10-minute landline call is $0.30, and a 30-minute landline call is $0.90. A 10-minute mobile call is $1.00, and a 30-minute mobile call is $3.00.
In Ringvoo, dial +39 and keep the 0 on a landline, so Rome stays 06. On a US phone, dial 011 39 instead of the plus. The person in Italy answers on a normal phone and does not need an app. A minute that you start is billed as a whole minute.
Example cost for a whole number of minutes
The table multiplies the live per-minute price by 1, 5, 10, and 30 minutes. Those are exact minute counts, so no extra minute is added.
| Length | Mobile | Landline |
|---|---|---|
| 1 minute | $0.10 | $0.03 |
| 5 minutes | $0.50 | $0.15 |
| 10 minutes | $1.00 | $0.30 |
| 30 minutes | $3.00 | $0.90 |
How to dial Italy from the United States
- On a US mobile or landline, start with 011, then 39, then the Italian number.
- For a mobile, dial the digits that start with 3. Do not add a 0 in front of them. Example shape: 011 39 347 123 4567.
- For a landline, keep the 0 that begins the area code. A Rome number keeps 06, so the shape is 011 39 06 followed by the local number.
- In Ringvoo, enter the number with a plus: +39, then the same digits you would dial after 011 39.
Why not just use WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is free only when both people have the app and a data connection. It does not ring a normal Italian landline, a comune office, or a bank line such as a branch of Intesa Sanpaolo. Ringvoo places the call to the phone number itself, so the other person does not need an app.
