I'm looking for a prepaid SIM that has cheap calling and SMS rates. I don't really use data (I have a laptop, and use wifi normally), but can be convinced if it is a good idea!
I will use my phone mostly:
1) to call/sms girlfriend (who will be with me in italy)
2) call/sms other students in italy
3) send sms to people in Australia
4) call Italian hotels (if needed)
5) (very rarely) call my family in Australia
What are the best options? I've seen the Wind prepaid - is that the best? Would I be able to get any student plan?

Yes, I think that Wind is a good solution for you because
a) you can activate "Noi 2" option with your girlfriend
2) Wind 6 is a good option for SMS
3) Wind is the only carrier that has the same price for national&international SMS (pay attention: Wind6 is only for italian numbers, for international you will pay the standard rate)
5) you can add "Call Your Country" option to any Wind IT prepaid simcard.
Anyway if you take a "Wind 9" tariff plan maybe you can evoid "Wind 6 SMS", Wind 9 has a good tariff (9 ct. /sms, national&international).
