F.A.Q 

An answer to every question ;-)

Q: Why should I buy an italian SIM card?

A: To avoid expensive roaming fees. If someone calls you in Italy on your NON italian number, you pay the fees for the international call . If you Roam on your American Phone number, please expect to pay somewhere between $1.00-$3.00/minute. The same happens if you call in or from Italy.
With our Wind SIM card you pay an unbeatable 12 cents in Italy in all networks and 30 cents to Europe and the U.S.A.
If someone calls you, you will not pay a dime!

Q: When do I get my phone number?

A: Usually 24 hours after purchase. You can immediately give your italian phone number to your friends, partners,etc. The card will be sent 24 hours after payment is received.
Please allow one week to deliver in Europe and two weeks for the U.S.A

Q: What kind of mobile phone is supported?

A: All GSM mobile phones with no SIM lock that operate in the 900/1800 MHz frequency. U.S.A and Canada customers should have a Tri or Quad band phone. CDMA phones are NOT supported.

Q: How do I know if my phone is already unlocked or not

A: Borrow a SIM from someone who has a different service provider and see if it works in your phone or not. If it works, then your phone is already unlocked. If it doesn't, then your phone is locked. To unlock your phone, check our link list.

Q: How do I purchase additional airtime?
A: Additional airtime can be purchased on our website. The service fee is Euro 1.99 + airtime

Q: Further reasons to purchase a Wind SIM card?

A: You can easily use a lot of services already activated on the card, like directory inquiries, ticket and taxi reservations,etc. Furthermore, your italian friends, partners, etc, can call you at a very convenient rate, instead of paying international rates.

Q: I own an UMTS mobile phone or a UMTS laptop card. Can I use the UMTS network?

A: Yes, of course. You can activate the UMTS option (check our link list): 2.5 Gb, 30 days and 24 hours a day.

Calling home

To make a call within Italy, dial the prefix of the city you are calling, followed by the number, if you are calling a mobile phone, simply dial the number. Remember that mobile phone numbers in Italy no longer carry a zero at the start, while fixed line prefixes have retained the zero.

Was the Wind Prepaid Card useful? 

And did you enjoy your trip in Italy?

It's great to be traveling, I like hotels, because there's always people willing to help you enjoy your time there. I don't usually use the phone service from hotels, it's quite expensive, whenever I want to do an international call I'd rather use something that won't make me spend big amount of money.
Great Lens!!
