TIM store in Linate Airport?
 

Hi, after pouring through the wonderful information on this site I think I'm set for a trip to Italy. I've purchased an unlocked GSM phone and plan to pickup a SIM when I arrive at Linate airport in Milan. I've already created my codice fiscale and will take a copy with me. A few final questions that I could not find answers to:

1. Is there a TIM store (Il telefonino) in the Linate airport? If so where is it located?
2. Is there anything else I need to do before leaving or that I should be aware of?
3. I'd really like to get the SIM before the trip as we have a long drive after we arrive and it would be worth the extra cost to not have to try and find the store plus I could give the number out ahead of time. There is vendor selling TIM SIMs on ebay that claims no registration is needed- can this be legit? If I bought one from him, it sounds like I'd still have to go to the store to activate/register it, correct?

Thanks in advance!

The sim must to be registered. Here we can't sell the sim without register it, I'm a dealer...
You only need Passport or Identity card and Codice Fiscale to buy an Italian sims.
Sorry but I don't know if in Linate airport there are a "Centro Tim" or "Il Telefonino"

But here (in Italy) it's easy to find a cellular shop, and all electronic shop have sims card...and in Milan there are many...

Ask to activate instantly...:bye:

There are two Tim shops at the departures (upstairs from the arrivals).

Thanks, that is just what I needed to know!

You're welcome!
Only one of them is in the public area, next to the Alitalia and domestic flights check-in.
