Italian prepaid card in USA

Hello,

I just bought a prepaid TIM SIM card from Telestial, just to find out I can't register it until I go to Italy. However I won't go there until August. I want to use the card before I leave. What are my options?
Thanks for any advises. They are much appreciated.

Usually TIM cards are automatically activated after few hours, but I suppose they need to be registered on TIM network. So there are no other options, you have to be in Italy. Anyway what's the sense to use it in the USA?
