It's really great for finding your post about SIM card in Italy.  I have some questions about the setting, mainly Mifi (portable wifi rounter). Would you mind teaching me how to set? I got a HUAWEI portable wifi rounter, and I'm planning to visit Italy. Will bring along with my portable wifi rounter. I may purchase either TIM or WIND sim card for data roaming, internet. As I know, I need to change/input the APN for it. But from your post, it mentioned that we need to send an SMS by phone to activate the SIM card, then it's different from Mifi setting?! So, would you mind teaching what is the method for Mifi? Many thanks Kim |

Depends on the model. My Huawei E585 has a "3" web admin UI -- has their branding featured. One tricky thing was that there was an auto mode which I guess is suppose to discover the APN. But I went manual and set it to the value listed in this forum for TIM. One place to start is to Google the Huawei model. Someone is bound to have a video or a guide of some kind out there. |

Going to Florence at the end of this month. Still have 5 Euro credit on my TIM that I used last June. So the plan is to top up and activate one of the data plan options. Do I need to go to a TIM shop to top up? Or are there other outlets, especially any that might be open on a late Sunday afternoon or evening, which is when I expect to arrive? |

I have purchased the Internet Senza Limiti:*10 GB/month in Roma Termini. It is really great. May I know that can I use this SIM outside Italy? If it supported, do I need to change the APN? Besides, I am using this SIM in Huawei Mifi. Do I also need to set the data roaming function? Many thanks |
