I'm in Italy now.

I tried to buy a local Vodafone SIM in a Vodafone store, but they would only sell me some SIM for EUR 20 with 250 minutes ans EUR 5 credit. They would not let me buy with the Vodafone 12 and mobile internet plan that I wanted (as shown on prepaidgsm.net.)

Instead, I continued to use my Vodafone UK SIM which has reasonable data roaming (I needed data only.) As the Vodafone UK site says I can top up with an Italian Vodafone PIN, I figured I would do that.

However, it looks like it is no longer possible to buy a Vodafone PIN in Italy. Every place I go wants my Vodafone IT number so they can enter it and credit my account directly. No one will sell me a PIN.

Is there some way to get a Vodafone PIN in Italy? If so, where? Or, have they switched to the direct method everywhere in Italy?
