Is this normal? Does she need to do anything (except waiting)? I gave her all the plan printouts (Super Senza Scatto + Call Your Country option) and codice fiscale to show it to the clerk so I assume this has been taken care of.

Thanks!

Took less than an hour the last time I activated a wind SIM. Is there enough money in the acct?

Well, I assume the starting package would include some prepaid time (EUR5 or so) and since Canada's Call Your Country rate is only .20 it should be fine for decent conversation.
