Talk:Italy/@comment-77.125.105.67-20111112133810

Stayed in Italy for 6 days in November 2011 after taking rental car at Fiumicino drove straight to Auchan supermarket chain in Fiumicino 2 Km from airport which has a Vodafone sale point SIM came preloaded with 15EU. bought two Sim cards (brought two unlocked phones) Activated plan called Smart Zero limit ---price 5 Euro contains 500MB use for 30 days + unlimited SMS to all italian Vodaafone users + Unlimited calls to 1 chosen Vodafone number. We activated the chosen number for each other. that was around 11AM after 30 mins I got approval SMS that dataplan 500MB is activated after about 90 mins got sa,e for chosen number/

I used the cards to stay in touch when separated in Rome. we used about 140 mins of talk between the two of us (this alone costs a fortune in roaming fees -even accepting the call. one card used about 25MB data mainly for navigation w.phone and checking mails. the other used about 8MB for surfing, mail checks and using whatsapp continously online with about 50 msgs/ also accepted calls from my country for free (incoming call to local SIM is free) very satisfied with service and coverage (was only in big cities+highways) please note that Vodafone Italy is 3G only (must bring with you suitalble 3G capable and unlocked cellphones)
