Prepaid SIM in Italy?

OK, I just tried to book a taxi for early morning flight out of Florence.

They wanted my number.

I gave them the Poste Mobile number.

They refused that number because they consider it an international number?

It starts with +39, the right country code.

But they don't want to pay to call a cellular phone?

They claim the 10 digits following the country code makes it an international number.

It's incredible this thing about taxi. They don't know postemobile so this is the problem. Every italian's sim has 10 numbers!
