Italy SIM Help

Thanks very much! That is a big help. Looks like all I need to do is to find a WIND store in Rome when we get there. I've tried to find a store locator on line, but my Italian is not good enough to understand much of the www.mondowind.it website (as you can see, I at least found out that the Wind stores are probably called MondoWind). Is there a way to find addresses on line? Perhaps even an on-line Roma phone book?

Also, I'm assuming that the two places you wrote "customer" in the very helpful reply you meant "salesman". Your english is excellent, so a translation error like that makes me wonder if in Italian the word for saleman translates more directly to customer in English. I'm trying to learn as much Italian as I can before our trip, and I find it fascinating sometimes how an Italian term sometimes translates litterally into English. Such as "l'angolo", for "the corner" would probably directly translage to "the angle". My current favorite, though it's not a translating issue, is a term I found on the WIND website -- Passa a Wind. I don't know what that means in Italian (I think it has something to do with "passing" your current TIM or Vodafone number to a WIND account), but in English it would mean "pass gas" (is a gently as I can put it). Mille Grazie! -Jen.
