Prepaid SIM Italy

jlbaer1 · 20-08-2007, 03:23

Do you know if she will be able to get a Vodafone prepaid Sim card or perhaps prepaid Tim Sim at Malpensa airport and what other than an Italian address and passport she will need to register her sim card.

Also, any idea how long this will take? I think it makes economical sense to do it this way rather than order ahead thru telestial but I want her to have cell service as soon as possible of course. Thanks. Hopefully I have hit all the important questions

Dont know about all airports but I was unable to buy any kind of SIM at either Naples or Catania Airports.

To get a TIM SIM I had to buy a cheap phone, (40 euros inc. SIM), from an Auchan Superstore, (pronounced Ocean), probably because I was visiting out of the way places. Got a WIND Sim from an authorised dealer in Giarre Sicily. Vodafone seem to have dedicated Vodafone shops, so a web search should find them.

Hope this helps
