Ciao!
I am moving to Italy for a year at the end of this month, but I have no idea what to do about internet/mobile service while I'm over there. I currently have an iPhone here, and an old blackberry that I could use, but no idea where to start really when it comes to a sim contract. Was planning on trying to get a kind of dongle thing for the internet while I'm out there as I don't think the apartment where I will be staying has the internet installed, but as before, don't really know where to start. Any advice/help would be much appreciated!
Grazie!
Lorna

Reading the sticky threads in this room is a good start...

If your iphone is unlocked, just use that with one of the many services here in Italy (Wind,Tim,3,voda etc..)

They all have competitive price plans for net/phone. Just make sure to check the plans every now and then because they change from time to time.
