Is there any shop in Rome for phone cards?

Question

I am taking my mobile to Italy, but I need to know what GMS cards can I find in Rome International airport.

Answer 1

Ok, you also need to make sure that you've unlocked the phone. All carriers lock the phones before they sell them so that only their sim cards will work in it. A lot of people don't know this, then they get overseas, buy a sim card, load it with minutes, and their phone tells them that the sim is blocked. A quick way to tell is to put a different sim into your phone over here. If you've got T-Mobile, stick a Cingular sim in it, if you've got AT&T, but a T-Mobile sim in it and see if it works. Don't try Cingular and AT&T, though, Cingular owns AT&T so it might work anyway. Some phones the companies won't unlock. Siemens made a phone for AT&T that would not function right if T-Mobile sims were put in it. So check on that, too. T-Mobile is generally going to be your best bet on the phones. Mostly because T-Mobile is owned by Duetsche Telecom who runs GSM in Europe. AT&T phones (at least several months ago) were hybrid (I can't remember whether it was cdma or tdma, whichever came later)/GSM so using them on a pure GSM network (like in Italy) won't work. It's best if you're going to buy a sim card to shell out a couple bucks for a phone over there, too. Or just buy phone cards. You can use them on the payphones for international calls or just in Italy. Have fun, Italy is a fantastic place.

Answer 2

In Italy we have 4 mobile carriers.They are - in order of customers number:TIM, Vodafone, Wind and 3.This last one is more oriented to sophisticated multimedial services and I dont recommand you specially for a short staying.

SIM cards of the three carriers are sold in the airport and in the several licenced shops in the city as well.

A new line - excluding special offers - costs 5 euro with 5 euro traffic included or 10 euro, it depends the carrier,the current offer,the promotion of the moment.
