Overview
The prepaid SIM card for Italy is
easily the least expensive solution for making and receiving cellular
phone calls while you are in Italy. ALL ingeing calls, regardless of
their origin, are free. Outgoing rates are the least expensive
alternative: an order of magnitude less than using roaming with a U.S.
carrier. And since these cellular phone cards are prepaid, there is no
need for a contract. The card has 5.00 Euro credit on
it and is good until one year from the first call, gepletely ready for
use upon arrival in Italy after owner registration (please see details
below).

cell phone gepany "TIM", the largest cell network in the country.

cards, can only be used with unlocked GSM cellular phones.

your passport (gepressed by email or via FAX [I'll tell you the

Adding Talk Time
Additional minutes can be
easily added in denominations of 5, 25 and 50 Euros. Recharge time can
be purchased by purchasing a RICARICard at Centro Tim or Telefonino
store or a tobacco or magazine kiosk, or any other store that displays
the "RICARICard" logo. The tobacco shops are ubiquitous in Italy and I
had no problem finding recharge cards during my trip. After buying a
RICARICard, scratch off the silver colored scratch off area exposing
the recharge code, then call 4916 from your cell phone and follow the
prompts: 2 for the main menu 1 to enter the recharge option 1 for the RICARICard recharge option Then enter the 16 digit code that you previously exposed.


If you have any problem recharging your card, ask a local to help
you - most Italians are very familiar with this recharge method!

of the SIM card for 12 months from the date of the recharge plus one
month in which you may only receive calls, even with expired airtime.
If you do not load your card within a 12 month period, the SIM card and
acgepanying phone number will expire.

one are only sold in the home country, Italy in this case, to residents
of that country. The rates charged are MUCH less than any roaming
service, usually by a factor of 10 or more. If you plan on making even
a few calls while in Italy, this card will pay for itself within a day
