No, Vodafone Italy bundles are valid only in Italy.

@tux
You should perhaps make clear that it actually would work but at significantly higher (roaming) rates and that you need to purchase top-up vouchers from Italy in order to recharge an Italian SIM card. postpaid: O2 on Business XL; prepaid: DE: Aldi Talk, Lidl; UK: 3; BG: MTel, vivacom; RU: MTS; RS: MTS; UAE: du Tourist SIM; INT'L: toggle mobile VoIP: sipgate.de (German DID); sipgate.co.uk (British DID); ukddi.com (British DID); sipcall.ch (Swiss DID); megafon.bg (Bulgarian DID); InterVoip.com |

Is it just me, or do Vodafone Italy's roaming plans change faster than the weather? :P
By the way, does anybody know how they convert the currencies if you recharge your Vodafone card in a country which uses a different currency? Do they charge extra costs for this?

It's written in that page: they will use European Central Bank's exchange rate, without extra charges.

This applies only to subscriber with a "Smart+" offer. The remaining customers still have 2.50€ for 50MB option.
