older TIM (Italy) SIM and 3G Data

[rockjock]

Frank what trouble was there with the sims here in Canada? Mine has got to be 7 years old and no issues with 3g at all BUT if there is an issue you can easily walk into the carriers shop and they will give you another sim.

Since we had some trouble over here in Canada with older SIMs when 3G data was rolled out, I am wondering if this SIM is suitable for 3G data.

This is rather important to me as I absolutely need 3G data for my upcoming (in a few days) trip to Italy. I already activated Maxxi Alice Facile on this line, so I definitely want to keep it. Just want to know if I will have to purchase a newer SIM.

Thanks,

My 1998 FIDO SIM would not give anything over EDGE speeds. Upgrading to a newer SIM did the trick. Just trying to have as few hassles as I can once I am there. If anyone can confirm that I will not get 3G speeds with this SIM, then I know what to do.
