Just to share some information. I was in Italy (1/29 - 2/9). I went to a shop and the owener suggested me to buy a Wind sim card.

The deal I got was 25 euro for "4GB (within a month) + 1 euro deposit". I don't really understand how they charge me for this price since I don't speak Italian (probably 10 euro is for a new sim card). But with this deal I got pretty good speed and tethering available. Also I was able to make 2-3 short phone calls and send/receive some SMS texts. Besides they don't send warning SMS when the 4GB is almost running out (we have this service in my country), nothing to complain about.

At the begining, the shop owner suggested me to have a TIM card. The plan was 25 euro for 2GB within a month (price detail is also unknown). But I couldn't have the access to internet with the TIM card after trying 10 minutes. The owner said TIM has some access problem that day so he tell me they have the Wind deal.

I don't know why he didn't offer the Wind deal at first. Maybe because that was a TIM-main shop or he think I need internet immediatly. The Wind sim card's activation needs an hour. I was asked to turn off my phone for an hour and than turn on to access.
