What is the best cell phone plan for travel in Italy?

Question

I'm travelling to Italy on Monday, and I realized that I need to get a cell phone of some sort. I'll be staying for 6 weeks, so I don't need a contract plan. I'd prefer something like a pay-as-you-go phone, if possible. One of my friends recommended the WIND company for cell phones, but I don't know what they offer as far as pay-as-you-go. I'd use it to make calls back to land lines in the states and land lines and mobiles in Italy. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

Use TIM (telecom italia mobile)

Answer 2

TIM is the most expensive but has good cover. Vodafone costs less has some very good pay-as-you-go rates and has very good cover. Wind is probably the cheepest but has limited cover.

Personally I use Vodafone and recomend. The sim card costs about 10 euro and you can top up as and when you need. Most newsagents, supermarkets, tabacconists ect sell top up cards, or you can go into a Vodafone shone and they'll do it on line for you

Answer 3

i use vodafone it when i travel to italy, i also have an italian number...it is good, and in the tabacheria where they sell sigarettes, a part the cards already sold, they can add you as much as you want, they can add you for example 5 euros if you dont want to use it o much

Answer 4

try with TIM
