No underground coverage in Rome, unfortunately..
Hi, Charlie.


Thanks for your answer!
Which prepaid system is best? Wind, TIM, Omnitel or Blu. I will stay in
Roma, Siena and Firenze.
Philip.

 Roma, Siena and Firenze.
In my opinion TIM: it offers you the best coverage and the widest range of
tariffs and services, even if it's not the least expensive one (but quality
is something worth paying for, don't you agree?). Have a good time here in
Italy! :-)
Hi, Charlie.

 Italy! :-)
Near Florence also tim has big problems with a big area with no coverage...
imho Omnitel and Wind are better if you stay between Siena and Florence (in
Chianti wind is better than Vodafone Omnitel)

Chianti wind is better than Vodafone Omnitel)
I will stay in Rome for 2 weeks, in Florence for about 1 week and near
Siena (Chianti / Poggibonsi) for about 3 weeks.. I want to use a Italian
prepaid card, because my Dutch operator (KPN) bills a lot for international
roaming.
Which network has the best coverage in Chianti / Siena? WIND, TIM or
Omnitel?
Thanks for answering me!
Philip.

 Chianti wind is better than Vodafone Omnitel)
.. Dčnghiu! ;-)
Ciao, Charlie.

 Thanks for answering me!

Siena, Firenze and Roma. I will stay in Roma for about 2 weeks.
Last year I was in Roma, I roamed with Omnitel, their coverage was very
good!

How much does a WIND SIM card costs and has WIND national roaming with
Omnitel?
Thanks,
Philip.

 Omnitel?
I don't know how much costs a Wind SIM card now.
Before Euros it was 50.000 ITL (25,82 €), with included 50.000 ITL 
prepaid traffic (practically the SIM itself is free).
Now maybe it's 30,00 €

That would be great!
I will buy a WIND prepaid SIM card. Is WIND GSM900 or GSM1800? I have a
dualband phone, so that will be not the problem, but I was just wondering.
How much will it cost to send an SMS message?
EUR 30,- is not very expensive.
Thanks again!
Philip.

How much will it cost to send an SMS message?
0,12 eurocent , national or international destination.

0,12 eurocent , national or international destination.
sorry,  0.12 euros , or 12 eurocents ;-))
marco

 EUR 30,- is not very expensive.
just have a look here:
http://www.wind.it/index_eng.htm
mk
ps: in my very very very humble opinion, vodafone or tim would be
better...

 EUR 30,- is not very expensive.
There are many kind of prices...
You'd better check once you're in Italy.

0,12 eurocent , national or international destination.
That's cheap!

Yeah, I understand :-)
Here in Holland it's EUR 0.22 or 22 eurocents.
Philip.


Why?
And: what? Coverage, service, tarifs???
Philip.

Yeah, but I don't speak Italian :-)
I just ask for a Wind Prepaid SIM!?
Thanks a lot
Philip.

 And: what? Coverage, service, tarifs???
well, i suppose everyone has its personal (and in my case humble)
opinion....
wind has good prices, medium coverage (and the roaming it's going to be
over in these days, so i suppose coverage will be worst) and service.
I prefer vodafone or tim (more expensive) because i had some bad
experiences with wind...but it's just a personal opinion..something like
a little revenge :-)
and then if you call the netherlands so often, your prepaid will soon be
empty... if you did'n t like wind, you could always change operator..
mk

I just ask for a Wind Prepaid SIM!?
YES you can ask for a Prepaid Wind SIM , but remember, you must choose
a tarifs plan!
there're differents tarifs plan: the best ( i think) is  "SEMPRE
LIGHT" :
nationals calls:   24,80 Eurocent / min under 3 Minutes of
conversation and  12,40 Eurocent/min AFTER the third minute of
conversation ( - 50% !!). to all numbers !
internationals calls:  37,19 Eurocent /min to Europe, Usa and Canada
After you buy the Sim, you will active it instantaneously calling the
4242 number (free) and choosing the language.
ps: all Wind tarifs plans  are without cost to the answer ( example:
if you call for 10 seconds you pay ONLY for 10 seconds).
bye
Marco

Allright, there are different opinions about WIND.
National roaming is about to stop? When?
I really need coverage in Castellina in Chianti, Firenze, Siena and Rome, I
prefer WIND, but tell me if I made the wrong decision.
Philip.



What about Blu? Are they bad? Or do they have National Roaming?
Philip.

 better...
Dear Max, you to know that I'm living in Tuscany near the areas where Philip
will go :-) Your idea is not so good like you think! :-)


 a little revenge :-)
In Tuscany please no Tim! And in Chianti no Omnitel (there in a lot of towns
Omnitel has not coverage!). Probably for Philip is better to try Wind...


 What about Blu? Are they bad? Or do they have National Roaming?
Blu is goind to be dead :)


Omnitel has not coverage!). Probably for Philip is better to try Wind...
Allright, I'll try Wind!
The next problem:
I can buy a WIND sim card for prepaid at a telecom shop.
But then I need to activate it. How must I do this? Is it only in Italian
or also in English?
Can I use WIND as resident of the EU, or do I need to be Italian in order
to activate the SIM card.
Philip.

 to activate the SIM card.
You can use Wind as you belong to the human race :)


You can use Wind as you belong to the human race :)
That's allright :-)
Thank you all for the requested info!
As soon as I got in Italy I will buy a Wind PrePaid SIM and will activate
the Sempre Light tarif.
Thanks a lot for all the information provided to me in this newsgroup!
Greetz,
Philip.
