Moving to Roma - Need advice.
 

Hey everyone,

I'm moving to Rome in September, for 6 months to a year, and wanted to buy an unlocked smartphone beforehand.

Once I arrive in Italy, I was going to buy a prepaid SIM card. (I have dual citizenship and my codice fiscale)
I have a few questions.

If I understand correctly, I can just purchase a £10 SIM card and then add an unlimited data plan?

Who has the best customer service and phone features out of WIND, TIM, CoopVoce and 3?

Will I be able to use Skype's video chat, through a front facing camera on the smartphone, with family back in the US? Or is Skype somehow blocked?

Can I also use Skype's international calling feature to call friends/family at home?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Just go and buy a prepaid sim, refill it and add the option you choose.

You have to choose an option which allows you VoIP (Skype).

Customer service is usually bad if you do not speak Italian. 3 has the worst one (and you pay for it). Better with TIM and Wind.
