Hello italian friend. I'm going to italy soon to visit my mother for 3 weeks and need some advise with buying an italian sim card. Which provider has the best coverage and pricing and what would be the best overall solution for me?
I don't talk much but texting a little bit and I need lots of data and maybe a 3g wifi router for my pocket:-).
Any Italians from around Perugia?

It would depend on the operator people around you use.
I guess you could buy a 3 ("TRE") simcard and stick as long as you can with the mobile data to communicate, as 3 has the best pricing for mobile internet (3 gbs for 5 euros).
However, be sure to check 3's signal in your town first. -

It's worthy only if you know others that use this operator, as you can send unlimited sms to tim users for the fair price of 1 euro/weekly.
EDIT: grammar. -

18-07-12, 16:29nignoif you are in Milan, just go to a Wind Center and they can activate it for you. or try to use it, maybe it is already activatedQuote:

18-07-12, 16:37buenso80I'm in magione and there's no official wind dealer. Just electronic store. I don't think it's activated because I can't even send sms or make calls? There is a signal in the notification bar though???Quote:

18-07-12, 16:40nignojust go to any electronic store and tell them you are foreign and need to activate that simcard, they will help you..in the end try to send an sms when you are with them, so you can verifyQuote:
