You can get the information "from the horse's mouth" by checking the adr.it website:

Thanks for the reply. I have looked at that site before, it lists TIM, Vodafone and 3 (Tre) as being in Terminal 1 and at Gate B respectively, both are in the airside section. It seems like that upon arrival at Terminal 3, you are forced to go landside.

I'm wondering if there is any way to access those shops at Terminal 1 directly from Terminal 3 without exiting the secure area. I wouldn't even be able to go through security to get to Terminal 1 if I'm not a departing passenger, right?

AFAIK, there is no way to get from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1 without going outside or through the pedestrian bridges to the parking area & train station.

On second thought, it may actually be possible if you just stay to the left and don't ever go down to pick up your bags. I'm not at all sure of that.

It's crazy to put cell phones behind the security check.

Thanks for the reply. I did check the website that you linked, and it lists Vodafone, TIM, and 3 (Tre) as being in Terminal 1 and at Gate B, both of which are airside, after the security checkpoint. The only electronics store landside, not in the secure area, seems to be Dixon's, whom I've heard only sells Vodafone SIM cards. I've heard that Vodafone SIM cards can sometimes take 24 hours or more to activate, so I'd prefer TIM, Wind, or 3 if possible.

I was wondering if it is possible the mobile stores in Terminal 1 without having to exit security. It seems like, from what I've read, that international arrivals at Terminal 3 are forced out of the secure area. Also, it's not like the security personel would let me access the airside part of Terminal 1 if I'm not a passenger, right?
