Our Story

Our humble beginnings date back to the year 2000. The company started with a simple and practical concept of compiling an English-language guidebook aimed at linking students with useful local businesses and services in Florence, Italy. Our scope broadened when mobile phone operations began in 2002 with a single network provider. We have evolved to now offer local service in over 30 countries tackling the challenge of providing flexible, short term contracts for impermanent residents. Consider us a conduit between the foreign national networks and our individual clients delivering clear billing and customer care that you come to expect from an American wireless company. Today, PicCell proudly offers its services to over 300 North American university programs abroad and more than 600 institutions on five continents. We work closely with them in customizing services to meet their specific needs. Providing exceptional customer care has always been our primary goal, giving travelers and students peace of mind during their time away.
