FYI in Italy you can find the following kind of cards:
Stadard telecomitalia cards: Usable either for local and sistant calls.
For distand calls these have the higher rates ( Long distance national
about 600 L-Min international about 840L/min , also to each call are
added 400 or 800 L for call setup)
Tiscali cards: Usable for all but local calls, but have the advantage that
can be used also from hotel rooms. about 420L-min national, 650
international, no setup fee (just a minimum 400L/call billing)
Other international cards : preices vary, since every one is targeted to
a specific country (The 37cents you mention is the average)
WIND GSM cards: can be an option if you plan to call much, since are sold
in 100000 L size, but then you can call at about 480 L-min national
600L-min international AND you can receive call (calling from abroad there
is NO mobile surcharge !!! so if your friends-relatives have a better rate
they can use it to call back)
(There are other card, either for public phones of for cell'phones with
intl rates down to 360 L/MIN but require a minimum of 360000L of traffic
over two months)
(NB: international rates are EU and USA/Canada)
