It means "prepagato", but in Italy we use to call prepaid card "reloadable":
in italian "ricaricabile".

 What does "prepaid" mean in Italian?
It just means that your calls are paid in advance, because you buy a
sort of phone card containing a certain amount of money and you use it
to pay your calls.
When your credit is over, you just "recharge" it. This means you give
money to your phone company *before* you call.
Some companies (namely Tim, Omnitel, and Blu) ask 10.000 lire of
expenses every time you recharge. Wind does it only with a couple of
tariffs.
If you don't like it, you can subscribe a traditional contract, where
you receive a phone bill every two months and pay it via your bank or
post offices. In this way you pay your calls *after* you made them and
you don'have to recharge your card: you'll never run out of money just
when you need to make that really important call!
With this kind of contract, you have to pay every month 10.000 lire of
taxes to the italian government. Furthermore, the phone company will
sometimes ask you to give a certain amount of money (about 200.000 lire)
as a security measure unless you pay with a credit card or bank.
