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 Vodafone SIM card you pay an unbeatable 10 cents in Italy in all networks and 50 cents to Europe and the U.S.A.
If someone calls you, you will not pay a dime! Furthermore you can use our carefree data rate: 500 MB a day for just 2 Euros. You can use your laptop, smartphone, Ipad, IPhone wherever you are and when you want, with the best high speed 3G network in Italy.
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. You can also use any UMTS Stick and Mifi (if not SIM-locked). Micro SIM-Card for IPhone 4 and IPad are also available.
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: You can easily and safely purchase additional airtime for any italian SIM-Card though our website. Just enter your number, choose the provider and the amount, and complete the Paypal transaction.
The airtime credit will be recharged within 4 hours on working days.
Q: I own an UMTS mobile phone or a UMTS laptop card. Can I use the UMTS network?
A: Yes, of course. You don't have to care about data options or plans: you just pay 2 Euros per day for 500 MB, only if you use it. It's not only convenient but you can keep your personal and professional information safe from web cafes.

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.

- Hi Mia, do you mean some internet options, "call your country" or the card itself?
In the latter case, you cannot deactivate the card but should remember to recharge your airtime at least once every year, in order to keep your sim-card alive.

- 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!!
