Purchasing Data sim on airport

[moranium]

Hi,
First of all ,great forum!!
We are coming to italy on the 26.8.11 (in 3 weeks) and I need a data plan so I can navigate with my android device. (it is unlocked GSM device, SGS)
I read you usefull info , and I need to know if I (as a tourist) can purchase the 3G data plan of vodafone, at the Malpensa (Milano) airport. (with the 9 EU rate you have published...)
I rent a car so I need to navigate strait from the airport to verona

Your help and info will be much appreciated.

have you read :Prepaid in Italy - How to buy
and:

WHERE TO BUY

Once you have your passport and your personal Codice Fiscale you are ready to go to Italy and buy a prepaid sim-card. But of course you need to find a shop which will sell you one.

At most airports in Italy you WON'T find any phone shop. That's very strange for a phone-addict country such as Italy, but so it is. So it's most likely that you will need to go to the city centre and find a shop there. Often there are some shops at bigger railway stations and you will surely find more than one at shopping centres. In the main pedestrianized streets in the centre you will surely find some as well.

I have read all and I also have my personal Codice Fiscale.
But I could not find a definite answer whether the malpensa airport has a shop in it ...
I have decided to go to milan and search there ... thanks

The only shop I can find at Malpensa airport is a "3" shop in Terminal #1 on the 2nd level (Departures). Their website is very hard to search for this type of information.

For some strange reason, there are really few phone shops at Italian airports and almost no official operators' shops. It's much easier to find them at bigger railway stations and of cource in the town centre.
