More Wind Questions

You can just dial *124*4242# (or just 4242 when you are in Italy) and press the number 6. It will then ask you what language you prefer (Italian and English), so you can use English.

After that, you can buy a Wind refill at any tabacchi or newsstand, no need to find a Wind shop. I suppose you'll be flying to Italy, so you can refill the card directly at the airport you will land.

Of course you can receive calls/SMS in Italy with 0 credit. You can check your credit at any time dialing *123#, also abroad, or through the 4242 as well.

Another question about Wind: on the PPGSM page it now says "at least 1 call/sms/data every 3 months is needed". I believe this is new?

Since my card is in Germany at the moment: is it enough if I just receive a text or make a free call to keep the card alive?

The usual thing is a very tiny GPRS session. You can get by for as little as 1.0 ct.
