It's not [I]exactly[/I] '187 telecom italia '.
187 is the short code to connect you to the Telecom Italia services/operators.
Having dialled that you are able to speak to one of their staff. You never know (they're getting better) - you might even get a poilte one.
[U]Or[/U] you can get to them 'on line' by just entering 187.it on your search browser.
Once on their home site you can find all the 'Teleconomy' offers. The most popular is 'Teleconomy Internazionale' which allows unlimited calls to ANY EU country (except Italy to Italy) plus unlimited calls to North America (USA/Canada) at a monthly cost of €10.
But if you are looking to call elsewhere in the world then peraps this might be more useful and costs €5 per month:

The problem with Nuova Welcome Home, is that the calling costs are very high to mobiles. We have just spoken to our son in Thailand on his mobile via Skype for 7 cents min, TI want 16 so not that good a deal.
I have posted below the Skype call charges in GBP, so if you are calling anywhere other than the Telecom E10 mth areas you can work out the cost.

We got a letter from Telecom Italia a few weeks ago telling us they had put us on the €10 month deal without our asking them for it.

It is also the website address for telecom italia.

I believe 187 is the customer service number and logo of Telecom Italia and not a dialing prefix.
You may be thinking of Teleconomy Internazionale which is a service Telecom offer for all European and North American calls 24/7 and is a flat rate of €10.00 a month on top of your line rental. You can sign up for it on the 187 website which I have linked. It also lists rates to all other countries.
