Question Questions about Italy Data Plans - 08-07-2010, 09:29

Hello,
Can anyone help me? I'm trying to help my over-70 parents figure this out for their annual trip to Italy.


1st Question:
I already have a TIM sim card that we use every year--have had the same phone number since 2004.
Do I need to get a new SIM and new phone number in order to add a prepaid data plan, or do I choose a different type of ricari card?


2nd Question (multipart):
I understand having to activate the data plan. But do I de-activate it on days I'm not using it (can it be turned on and off at will, and should it be?) Or do I just deactivate it when I'm ready to leave the country?
What happens if I forget to deactivate it?
(If I buy it at a TIM store how will I know if they've already activated it?)
DATA FOR DUMMIES PLEASE.


3rd Question:
What is the best TIM data plan to buy, if we only use it for a translation program that needs to access a data network to perform the translation?

There won't be internet browsing.

Thank you so much for the help.
