My experiences were all negative! Aboslutely noone speaks English (or German, French, Dutch or whatever) in the customers service.

Well, this is my Italy Usually no one speaks anything... :P not only in a customer service but everywhere...

I tried to get the grps-settings from TIM. They demanded 10 euros!!!! I have never heard of any company that SELLS settings!!!!

You were (almost) lukcy... I know dealers selling that settings for 25 € ... anyway using Google (or this forum) you can find all the italian APNs

Vodafone couldn't sell me a credits recharge for less than 25 euro, which was to much for me in this situation.

A lot of "smart" dealers in Italy... only a question. What area/city did you visit? Just curiosity...

But why should they? Learning foreign languages isn't easy. And Italy is and will always be one of the the world's most imporant travelling destinations so people will arrive there even if they will not be able to communicate
