Talk:Italy/@comment-70.72.164.213-20150707174533

I just came back from Italy last week, I bought a TIM data sim card, they offer 2 type for me, the first one is 20 euro for 5GB for 30 days, and the second one is 28 Euro for 10GB. with 5 euro as bonus for talking. I bought one of each use on my HTC m7 and m8 phone. I bought it from Milan and use all the way to Rome. I found the whole journey 2 phone always on 2G and only on some time can reach 3G, the data is very weak, so my phone always tried to access the data and made the phone very hot, and consumed a lot of battery, normally I can only 4 to 5 hours then have to recharge my phones. My m8 phone only use about 10 days and don't know why I cannot have data anymore.

TIM got shops everywhere, but their staff are not quite knowledgable, because when I bought the card they said data will activate in one hour, but my phone cannot connect with internet the whole day, I have to visit 3 shops finally they said my APN setting is wrong. I have a friend use provider 3, his phone is Samsung and working quite good with 4G signal all the time.

The free WIFI speed offer in Rome airport only 1 mbps, this only good for checking email,  nothing more you can do.
