All'estero come a casa (3 like home)

Also 3 Italy follows its "sisters" with the offer 'All'estero come a casa' which is the Italian translation of "3 like home".
This offer is preactivated on all prepaid cards and offers almost the same rates you enjoy in Italy also while roaming on other 3 networks in Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Ireland, Sweden and UK. Till March 31st 2009 rates are the following:
- Outgoing calls: € 0.016 set-up fee, plus your normal national rate;
- Incoming calls: € 0.22 per call;
- Messaging and data: same as in Italy (including options).
Starting from October 1st 2009 you will pay € 0.50 per call for both outgoing and incoming calls, which sounds quite illegal with the limits imposed by the Eurotariff...

National Roaming

3 ITA has a national roaming agreement with TIM. All 3 ITA customers can roam on TIM GSM network everywhere in Italy, making voice calls and using all messaging services thanks to GPRS roaming for data. The price for voice calls and messaging are the same as on 3 ITA W-CDMA net, while data calls must add € 0.01/KB fee while roaming on TIM net. Video calls are not available on national roaming.

UMTS phones

In order to use 3's W-CDMA network you need an UMTS W-CDMA/GSM dual-mode phone. Some 3 ITA u-simcards will not work on GSM phones due to a software limitation made by 3 to avoid excessive roaming costs. Many phones bought with 3 ITA are locked to their network, and some of them are also locked to the sim-card sold with the phone.
From May 2006 it is possible to buy a GSM/GPRS u-sim compatible card. You have to ask the dealer for this special card which can be used on any compatible GSM handset, always roaming on TIM network. In this case you use 3 as a MVNO on TIM.
