What would the adapter be called? Could I find one in the U.S., to just
bring with me? (BTW, your English is fine, I don't have any trouble
understanding what you say)

Local phone calls aren't untimed, as in the U.S., are they? How much would
I end up paying per minute/hour/whatever?

I will :) it isn't the first time I've been to S.M. In 1989, my family
immigrated from the USSR to the US by way of Italy, and we stayed in a town
not too far from S.M. called Ladispoli (I was only 6, though). Last year I
spend a week in S.M. with my uncle as well. This year it'll be two months :)
Thanks for the help
