Data in Sicily

OK, planning to go to Sicily for 2 weeks in June.

Looks like Wind has UMTS and HSDPA in most of the areas which I will visit. Actually, I couldn't find which province Lipari and other Aeolian islands might fall under.

So the Mega Unlimited sounds good. I used Mega Ore last May and had 8 Euro credit left over but I may have to buy a new SIM and start with zero credit. That would be fine, no problem with that.

Main issue is where to pick it up. I haven't worked out my itinerary but I may go to a smaller town (possibly Castellmare del Golfo) at first rather than Palermo. I land at 5 PM on a Sunday in PMO so I wonder if there are any Wind vendors at the airport.

Otherwise, the first big town I would reach might be Trapani, a couple of days later.

I will have to search for their shops but maybe TIM or Vodaphone might be easier to find. PosteMobile has an offer but waiting in a post office line may be too much of a time sink.
