Call you cell phone company, tell them the area and they should know if it's gsm,cdma,tdma,ect. Then they will tell if your cell is compatible and if not sometimes you can rent one for your Carrier (quad mode) also change to a international plan this will save you on some roaming fees. If you have verizon this info is on the web site.

You can call your phone company to see if your phone is able to make calls. More recent phones are able to make the calls, but calling your phone company may help you solve the problem more. I have cingular, and I know I can ask questions about those kinds of things over the internet, through contacting customer service or something.

Assuming you have a GSM phone, you should check the bands that your phone supports, and insure that these bands cover those used in Italy. Italian cellular phone companies (notably, Vodafone and Telecom Italia) appear to use the 900 and 1800 bands, and for 3G service 2100. The user's manual for your phone should tell you what bands it covers. It might be easier to call your US cellular service provider and ask. You may also need to do this to have them enable service outside the US. If you plan to use your phone for calling within Italy (rather than for international calls to and from the US), it would be a lot cheaper to buy a GSM card in Italy. This will give you an Italy-based phone number, and remove the huge roaming charges you'd pay to your US providers. See http://www.lifeinitaly.com/travel/cell-phone-in-italy.asp for more detail.

check the Italia GSM frequency. Here is a page on WW GSM frequency: http://www.chinacellworld.com/worldgsm.shtml If you have a Quad-phone, then you are fine. Tri-band is kind of tricky, so you should really check your phone frequency and then see if that matches

Can I work in Italy without being a resident
Can I work in Italy without being a resident?
If I am a non-resident in Italy (staying less than 3 months) is it possible to work in Italy (as a bartender or such)? If so, what paperwork would I need? I am a US citizen currently

As a US citizen it's just about impossible for you to work in Italy. On a US passport you can stay in Italy for 90 days out of every 180 days without a visa. During this time you're not allowed to work. It's not possible to get a work visa unless you've been offered a permanent job in Italy. Even this is extremely difficult as the employer needs to prove that there are no Italian or EU citizens available to fill the position. And it's highly unlikely that you'll find any 'under-the-table' work. No employer will bother taking on an illegal worker when there are so many legal EU workers available who are happy to do the job for low wages!

It is not legal for you to work here without a visa. There are short term visa available for things like home care work or seasonal work, but you have to have an employment contract before you come. Jobs like that are unlikely because it's much easier for an employer to hire someone from Europe who doesn't require all the paperwork and the employer would have to demonstrate that there is no viable candidate from Europe before applying for a work permit for you. Casual work off the books will be almost impossible to find. Employers face stiff sanctions for hiring illegally and with the high unemployment rate here, it isn't difficult to find legal workers. In the town where I live, it has been some time since I've seen any of the pasticerrias or bars looking for workers. I know some recent university graduates who are working as cashiers in groceries. The website for visas is here: http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp . There are working holiday visas for some nationalities, but those are not available for US citizens. They are also only available for stays of over 90 days.
