Thanks for all the help from the experts!

I think I will try the Piranha sim, I can have it shipped to my house before my trip, test it out and learn how it works.

I checked the providers for the various countries I will visit. Hopefully I will have good coverage on my journey. I love the internet and forums like this one, as you can find out just about anything from experts that have been there and done that.

Is TIM a good nationwide coverage network for Italy? I will spend a week of the trip going to Venice, Lake Como, and Italian Riviera.

Thanks again for all the help!

TIM was the incumbent mobile phone company... it has the best coverage in general.

P.S.: post #100 :D

Thanks! This should work.
