Greetings from Lake Garda,

I was curious about Iliad's Simbox and couldn't resist. I found one at Verona train station. An Iliad "attendant" is there to help. Well, the bundle is perfect for use while staying in Italy. Network performance and coverage are definitely OK. There are some aspects that might be confusing for foreigners like me, but now I got things sorted. Yes, you can buy it with your foreign ID, but you have to input an Italian address and a "codice fiscale". It is a mixture between an contract and real prepaid. No strings attached. The thing is you can actually stop automatic top-ups in your customer area on iliad.it and simply buy top-up codes in shops. At the end of a month/period, if your current balance is not enough for bundle renewal, than you'll pay per use (it's called piano base: 0,28€/Minute or SMS and 9€/1 GB), which is no longer a bargain. So it is just like every prepaid card, but keep in mind to unlink your credit card or directly select manual top up in the customer area before you leave. You can even terminate your contract from the customer area if you want to play it safe.
