Prepaid SIM in Italy?

Hi Kevin,
I would NOT use 3, honestly. First of all, you cannot use 3 on your Nokia if it's not a 3G phone. Second, when there's no 3 network you roam on TIM, with no extra fee for voice calls, but WITH quite an expensive extra fee for data. And since you plan to use it for data it can be very dangerous for your credit.

I'd go with Wind which has 3G coverage in all the mentioned towns (3,5G too in some bigger places), plus GPRS (and maybe EDGE) in the other places in the countryside that you are going to visit.
