Italy Sim Card

DR - Perhaps I should have used stronger language to convey that the premium paid is large. However, even if it's $20-$25, it might be worth it for convenience. He has number in advance to give out, can avoid the hassle of dealing with purchase in airport and setting it up etc. I think I have read here that Italy requires extra "red tape" when buying a SIM, especially if you are not Italian.

I know this is somewhat an old post but think would reply for future people. If one choose to buy the Italian simcard in Italy there is indeed a lot of red tape and quite a few shops refuse to serve u. Ie they say have to live and have Italian Id card. In end did find small independent shop that did process it with my iD. Could use my address back home but at end use our family address in Italy. (Was about to get it in their name). It cost €10 with €5 credit. Reason I want wind is cause a lot of friends / family are on wind and have unlimited data think got fair usage of 2gb for only €3 a month

I use an LG G6, wife an S7) A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
