I will be visiting Italy next month for a few weeks, both for business and pleasure - Venice and Florence. When I visited Spring, 2004, I bought a TIM SIM for my phone. Since 2 years has passed, I'm assuming the SIM is no longer valid and I will need to buy another one, and get a new phone number in the process. Is there anything I can do with the old SIM? Is there any way at all to re-use the SIM or keep the old number?

I will probably be landing in Venice. Any recommendations on where to easily buy a SIM for my phone?

Is TIM still as good as any other carrier in Italy? Or should I go with some other carrier? When I was there in 2004, TIM seemed to have the best service / coverage.
