Italian SIM prepay detailed comparison

After comparing information on this site, I have concluded the following about Italian SIM prepaids.

1) Wind Senza Scatto, 0.17/min, 0.34 for 2min, 0.51 after 3min (charged by the second) , with 0.12/SMS, or more likely 0.15/SMS (if SMS is to a non-Wind #)

2) TIM, Easy Time new, 0.18, 0. 26, 0.48, 0.15/SMS
3) TIM, MTV Mobile Go, 0.30, 0. 45, 0.60 0.08/SMS

4) Vodaphone, 0.15, 0.30, 0. 45, 0.15/SMS

Number 3 looks the best for someone interested in local SMS only, but where do I buy a MTV Mobile Go startpack? Where do I recharge it? Can I do that online with a foriegn credit card? Or which shop? I have a codice ficale (generated by a Italian website recommened to me by this site), will that suffice?

I am looking for the cheapest local SMS, which pack do you recommend? I am visiting Italy for six months, and need to a few messages/day.

Also, there is a list of virtual prepay? What does virtual mean?
