Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / September 2003Suggestion for picking up a GSM prepaid SIM in Rome
I want to pick up a prepaid GSM SIM to use during my 2 week trip in Italy. I'll be flying into Rome and would like to know if there are any places in the airport (Fiumicino) or in the Termini that you might recommend. Do these prepaid GSM SIMs work all over Italy? I'll be Tuscana, Cinque Terre, Venice and Milan. Thanks for your help.

There may be some in the airport, but there are good odds that you're going to find many mobile phone places in the city centre. At any rate it should not be a problem in getting a GSM "PAYG" card either in the airport or in the city centre. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To send an email reply send to GSMthemobilestandard (@) yahoo.com Both TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) and Vodaphone have shops in Terminal B at Fiumicino. > I want to pick up a prepaid GSM SIM to use during my 2 week trip in > Italy.

I'd prefer a "wind" sim card (and its cheaper international rates) with either the "sempre light" plan (about 24cents per minute allday toward all italians mobiles and landlines, and 12c per minute after the 3rd minute of conversation) or the "best wind" plan, offering cheaper calling costs toward landline\other wind mobiles. You'll need an italian "fiscal code" to activate the sim; probably they will calculate it for you at the store. -- D I E G O > You'll need an italian "fiscal code" to activate the sim; probably > they will calculate it for you at the store. > > -- > D I E G O Ciao Diego.... can you please explain to me what this fiscal code is all about? Is this an additional cost or some sort of Identification that is needed to start an account? Thanks for your help. Miguel SignatureChange hotmail.com to mac.com if you want to send email.

Sure :^) > Is this an additional cost No, it's absolutely free to have it :) >or some sort of Identification >that is needed to start an account? It's an individual identification code needed, together with your identity documents, to activate the sim (and to do many other things here in Italy, sort of a ssn number). It's a combination of letters\numbers that come from your first\second name, year and place of birth, sex. This code can be easily calculated even for a foreigner (the regional part of the code is replaced by the code of the nation you were born into), both with a simple software available almost anywhere on the net (you have to google for "calcolare+codice fiscale") and on some istitutional italian website that i just don't remeber now. I'm offline now, so i cannot search it for you, but if you fail in finding it on the net, then tell me and I will help you. >Thanks for your help.
