Using an Italy Vodaphone and SIM card in the U.K.
 

Can I use my Vodaphone and SIM card purchased in Italy and added prepaid minutes in the U.K.?

No, Vodafone Italy bundles are valid only in Italy.

You should perhaps make clear that it actually would work but at significantly higher (roaming) rates and that you need to purchase top-up vouchers from Italy in order to recharge an Italian SIM card.

It will, but starting by 16th July, with Vodafone Smart Passport. With 3€/day, you'll be able to use Vodafone Italy bundles outside Italy. But at the moment, you can't. ;) By the way, you can top-up Vodafone Italy sims with any european Vodafone voucher :) Take a look here: http://www.areaprivati.vodafone.it/1...internazionali

Is it just me, or do Vodafone Italy's roaming plans change faster than the weather? :P

By the way, does anybody know how they convert the currencies if you recharge your Vodafone card in a country which uses a different currency? Do they charge extra costs for this?

It's written in that page: they will use European Central Bank's exchange rate, without extra charges.

Does this offer only apply to pay after subscribers? I have a Vodafone Italy prepaid SIM that I have not used yet but got to travel later in the year. I thought there was a 2.50 euro/day for 50Mb/day roaming plan.

This applies only to subscriber with a "Smart+" offer. The remaining customers still have 2.50€ for 50MB option.
