Telestial Italy SIM Cards by TIM

Why rent a cell phone when you can own and roam for much less!

If you plan on visiting Italy, make sure you don’t leave without a prepaid Italy SIM card. Telestial’s Italy SIM card by TIM provides a simple, convenient and affordable way for any visitor to make and receive those all-important calls while abroad.

In the past your only options were expensive: to pay over $1/minute with an over-priced cell phone rental or pay international roaming surcharges on your local home wireless provider. With Telestial's Italy SIM Card, you can now avoid high rental fees and per-minute charges often associated with using a cell phone abroad.

The prepaid SIM card for Italy is a practical option for using your existing GSM world phone as a prepaid Italy cell phone while you’re in Italy at a far better rate than you would have to pay for an Italy cell phone rental. This is what the Italians use themselves!

Telestial International SIM Cards

Traveling outside Italy? Then consider a Telestial International Roaming SIM Card

An Italian SIM card is the best option if you’re visiting just Italy. It will always offer the best local rates and you can enable options to call international locations at a good per-minute rate. If you’re working, studying or holidaying for a while in Italy it may cost more than a Global or International SIM Card to purchase initially, but the rates will cover that cost. Having a local number to give to new friends will help you fit in easily in your new country.

International SIM cards and Global SIM cards are the same thing; don’t be too confused by all the terminology used in sales messages. If you’re traveling overseas and visiting more than one country, then a Global Roaming SIM card made specifically for international calling is your best option. Many options offer free incoming calls, fairly competitive rates to call home and cheaper calls between countries than a local-country SIM.

What are the key attributes to look for in a Global SIM card? A UK number (+44) is an advantage. It’s much more user friendly than an Estonia or Lichtenstein number used by some providers. Call quality won’t differ that much, but if friends and family are calling you from North America, it’s cheaper to call a popular route like the UK than Eastern Europe.

International SIM card rates are much cheaper than roaming overseas with a Canadian phone or traveling across European boarders with a local European SIM card. Global SIM cards are usually pre-paid, which allows you to add call credit at anytime giving you tighter spending control.

Always check a SIM card’s per minute rates before buying and make sure you choose a plan that’s good for you and the countries you’ll be visiting. Remember that incoming calls in Europe are usually free as a standard. Look for an International SIM provider who offers 24/7 support and make sure recharging is easy and free, you should always be able to recharge for free online or over the phone.
