How to buy
You can buy MTV Mobile simcards at any TIM shop throughout Italy. At the moment there are 2 phone kits available at 199 and 299 € while there are no news about a sim-only kit. Probably you can switch from a TIM tariff to MTV tariff, changing the sim-card, at the cost of a change of plan with TIM.
