I am an Irish citizen and I have an Italian identity card. I recently signed up to Iliad without much trouble. During the online set up process they specifically ask for a place of birth within Italy, so I'm not entirely sure they have travellers or foreign people in mind. However, I wrote down the comune I'm living in instead of my place of birth, and they accepted that. I took a video and pictures of my card to verify my identity and they accepted that. The identity card specifically names my place of birth as the US and my nationality as Irish.

So it's obvious they do accept foreigners, but they may well want people with residency at the moment. Payment was taken with an Italian card.

I don't know how I would have fared if I had used my Irish passport instead. I plan on getting a second SIM, so I'll try with my passport and see if they're cool with it.

I'm going to be honest though, I used this site to find out about Iliad and it has saved me a lot of money and given me a lot more freedom regarding Internet usage (particularly in regards to not needing a fixed line commection).

I've been here more than 6 months and I didn't here anything about Iliad. My stay is longer than most but still temporary so the rolling contract suits me. Iliad may not be available easily to everyone who visits the site, but there those of us with an extended stay who will find the info very useful. The deal it offers is miles ahead than anything else in Italy, and the rolling contract isn't terribly different from what you'd be getting with another Italian company, pre-paid.

I will testify to it's place on the page as being useful, at least. I will update with any interesting notes and if there is more info that will be useful to you, let me know.
