Help! Need an Italian SIM, special conditions...

We've discussed this in several places before, but as the formula for the CF is no secret, the one you generate online will almost certainly be identical to the real one you get at an Italian tax office (mine wasn't; they included my middle name in calculating it!). You won't get in any trouble using a "fake" one.

BTW, if you've got family in Italy, you could always get them to top up any prepaid SIM once a year for you, if you needed them to.

Another thing - Almost no one in Italy has a contract; it's one of the most prepaid-heavy markets there is (last time I checked, the share of contracts was 8%).
