Average Traveller · **Italy: TIM Maxxi Alice Facile? -** 06-05-2010, 00:38

Hi all,

I wonder how long until mobile data access gets easy?

After reading a number of posts here I am wondering why I don't see the TIM Maxxi Alice Facile plan on Prepaid GSM Italy TIM page or Effenfi's Prepaid Data in Italy page.

I am planning to be in northern Italy for about 10 days including Venice, Bologna, Florence and a few days driving through small towns in Tuscany. I will be carrying my Palm Treo Pro and would like to be able to access the Internet directly on my phone as well as tethering it to my notebook.

Because I am not sure about what the data speed will be like in the smaller towns I'm reluctant to go with a time based plan. The TIM Alice Facile (1000 MB per month, €20) seems like a good bet for me, but I would have been more confident had the experts on this forum endorsed the plan.

Is there something that I'm missing about the plan? Is it WAP only? Is it not available to add onto the standard TIM prepaid voice cards? Speed limited? Something else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
