Prepaid SIM in Italy?

Buy it in Italy, it's MUCH better.
At Fiumicino there's a 3 and a Vodafone shop (Terminal 1), plus a multi-brand store (Terminal 3)
Shopping Gallery - Aeroporti di Roma - Rome Airports Shopping Gallery
At Termini there are surely other shops too.

Hey Effendi,

Thanks for the advice - I will wait and purchase at the airport (I land at Terminal 1). I have a GSM phone, so it looks like "3" won't be an option. For calls to the US, do you recommend Vodafone, TIM or Wind?

Hi Effendi and thanks for the link !
The multi-brand store (SmartphONE) in T3: Does it sell Wind SIMs ? I can't find any point of sale of Wind SIMs in Fiumicino Airport at the wind.it site.

I don't know, I'm not from Rome so I cannot chek. They could sell Wind cards, but they are not listed on Wind site so probably they won't. BTW you can buy one in the centre.

hey guys,

Thanks for the advice, this forum was a big help during my trip! I (unfortunately) have been back in the states for about 3 weeks now, but just the other day I recieved a charge for 5 Euro on my credit card from telecom italia...does anybody know what this might be for? I ran out of credit on my sim card half way through my trip and never bothered to recharge. I was just about to throw it away when I saw this random charge. Did they refill it for me, and do they usually do this?
