Yes, officially three UK charge £10 (€15) for a SIM with no credit: such SIM-only no-credit deals I've always considered a bit naughty but I dare say they will have a few takers now they've announced this.

Having said that, the last time I looked there were sellers on Ebay (UK) selling 3 SIMS for £4 or more with some activation credit.

As a matter of interest, what is 3 coverage like in Italy? I have a friend in Ancona plus Wales are playing San Marino in October so I think a visit to Italy could be a possibility this year....

In Italy 3 has a good coverage in the major cities. In Ancona it's pretty good, but pay attention that at the Olympic Stadium of San Marino you will be abroad and you will have only TIM (by Tms) and, maybe, San Marino Telecom

Well, San Marino - Wales... that'a a nice idea for a PPGSM meeting

Alas so far this doesn't apply to prepaid (3 Reload) customers because they generally can't use international roaming yet (except on the Italian 3 network).
