Tim Card from eBay? or purchase in Italy

It is possible to generate a codice fiscale because it is based on code extrapolated from name and date of birth.

For things like an individual buying a pre-paid SIM, it really doesn't matter because it does not have a fiscal impact. The vendor will generate it for you and is committing no crime. It allows the vendor to fill in a required blank on the on-line application. The thing that the vendor will also do is make a copy of your passport and this with your name will be sent to the authorities. If a crime is committed and your number is involved you will be identified, just as the CIA agents that were indicted by the Italian authorities and are now under arrest warrants in the EU.

If you try to open a bank account or do something important fiscally only the plastic Codice Fiscale card with your name and other personal details will be accepted along with your identity card or passport. This plastic card confirms that you are registered with the tax authorities and allows the government to check on large money transfers or purchases that may be criminal.

As far as Italian cellular phone companies are concerned, travelling all over the world, I can assure you that they are one of the most advanced services in Europe and top-tier in the world.

Disorganization in Italy is greatly exagerated, especially by Germans.
