Tourists and International Students - AVOID
During my time in Italy I bought a sim card from TIM so I could use maps, text family, etc. However, my data would randomly cut out and making me go back to the store to pay more for 'activation fees' and for 'credit'. No one at the store could actually tell me what I was paying for. I ended up giving up on the whole sim card and used wifi instead. TIM is a total waste of money and will create unnecessary stress and problems to your trip. I cannot comment on the long term service of this company but I have heard bad things from locals as well.
Do yourself a favor and try to find somewhere else and research a little bit about their company. I'm super unsatisfied with the service I was provided and even have a friend who paid close to 100 euros for her service which was initially supposed to be only 29 euros. This place is a scam that tries to take advantage of international students and tourists. read more
