Italian prepaid sim for student

dstambou · 05-01-2009, 09:47

Hello,
Stumbled on this forum just today - great site guys!

I'm an Australian student coming to Italy to study in Florence from April-July 2009.

I'm looking for a prepaid SIM that has cheap calling and SMS rates. I don't really use data (I have a laptop, and use wifi normally), but can be convinced if it is a good idea!

I will use my phone mostly:
1) to call/sms girlfriend (who will be with me in italy)
2) call/sms other students in italy
3) send sms to people in Australia
4) call Italian hotels (if needed)
5) (very rarely) call my family in Australia

What are the best options? I've seen the Wind prepaid - is that the best? Would I be able to get any student plan?

Thanks everyone!

PS - I will also be travelling around Europe (eg. Greece, France, etc.) after my studies - is it worth getting an international roaming italian card? (won't need to use phone much at all outside italy)
