We are going to be arriving in Rome airport and immediately going to the Termini train station to catch a train to the Cinque Terra. We are bringing along an unlocked GSM phone and need to purchase a SIM card for it for use while in Italy. Does anyone know if there is a store either in the airport or at the train station where we can get a SIM card? If not, how about somewhere in the Cinque Terra? BTW, before anyone suggests it, we have Sprint here in the US so we cannot use that in Italy (they are CDMA). The unlocked phone is a phone my brother gave me that he used to use on AT&T. We plan to use the phone for emergencies and confirm reservations so we will not be using it heavily.

Probably at the airport, but no personal knowledge. If not, at Termini, one level down, across from a big glasses store is a good-sized phone place.

There are MANY phone stores in the airport and the train station. At FCO, exit out of the arrivals area, through the frosted doors, and go RIGHT. There you will see a Smart Phone dealer that can get you a SIM card. This post has a picture of the store **** http://tinyurl.com/FCO-meet *****
