I have gathered quite a bit of information on this forum (thank you!!!) but still feel a little confused by the pre-paid phone options.

I have an iPhone 4S (already unlocked). I want to use the phone in Italy for 13 days in May '13 (Venice, Florence, Manarola, Siena, Rome).

I want to be able to:
-Make/receive calls (Mostly short calls within Italy to confirm lodging reservations, etc. Calls to/from the States would only be necessary if something urgent came up at home or at work.)
-Receive voicemail
-Send/receive text messages (to both iPhone and non-iPhone users)
-Access the internet and online apps on my iPhone
-Tether my iPhone to my laptop (when free wifi is not available or a secure connection is required for work. VERY important.)

It seems like TIM is the best option for me (but I'm open to suggestions).

Am I correct that I should purchase these TIM options: 'prepaid SIM card' for 10 EU and a 'data pack' called 'TimSmartMaxi' 5EU for 1 week?

Thank you.
