the best choice for Prepaid DATA in Italy - which one?

Ok, I investigated: it seems that you pay 5€ at the moment of the activation/renewal, but the data bundle starts again on the 1st of each month. I.e.: if you activated the option yesterday, November 30th, you could use the 3GB in 1 day and today you would have other 3GB. It's quite strange, but it works in this way.

Effendi, You are truly a GSM scholar. My parents were able to pick up the SIM card yesterday for me, so it's ready and waiting!! The 3GB reset on the first of the month also works great for me since I won't arrive until the 14. December and depart 14. Jan. So I will have 3GB for 2 weeks then 3GB for another 2 weeks. PERFECT!!

THANK YOU A HUNDRED TIMES. If you will be in the Corvara area for some skiing during that month, I would be more than happy to buy you a couple of drinks. Best regards!!

Covara Pescara?
We are just over the hill and there is no 3g and we have to leave the village to get any reception at all. I don't think it would be possible to use that much data in a month!

Corvara, (Trentino-Alto Adige). Full 3G over the whole town, used 500mb of my 3gb already. Been here a week.

Didn't know there were 2 Corvara's. Corvara I was thinking of is in Abruzzo just over the Forca di Penne pass in the mountains.
