Hi. I have better news. I bought one of their SIM cards for foreigners to test their roaming: 2GB for €3 or 3GB for €5. The biggest task was to find a TIM store willing to sell this advertised offer. All wanted to push me to the 10GB pack, but this is capped for roaming. So in the 3rd store I was lucky to find a guy selling me this pack.

I'm really happy with it so far roaming. No cap and all of the 2GB can be used in 4G/LTE. In Germany Telekom's and O2's 4G are open without any speed limit. Nobody sells Telekom's 4G in Germany for that price. I'm aware that they might still add some surcharges in a few month, but we'll see.

The real task is to top-up a TIM SIM as they refuse to accept any non-Italian SIM credit cards. I opened an Italian PayPal account and transfered money from my home PayPal. This works for top-ups from abroad. But a very inconvenient way. 3rd party agencies would charge me 20% otherwise.
