Re: Sim card

So this one remains a mystery as she visited Wind and Tim and they say that the minimum is €20 and €25 respectively. She has to bite the bullet on this as she needs a number. At least it means that...

Re:Bank account

Re: Bank account

Thank you both. We have looked at ING and a couple of others I can’t remember but didn’t recognise. They require an Italian phone number and ING repeatedly said that the codice fiscale (which she...

Re: Sim card

Thank you, I will pass this on as I am posting on behalf of my daughter. She has a UK phone account and it works fine but for some forms she is filling in, she needs an Italian number and has been...

Can anyone recommend a good SIM card? I just need something cheap and very simple to enable me to get a phone number so that I can open a bank account. Everything I have seen seems to be a minimum of...
