I just wanted to post a quick message since I am in Rome right now and I visited a TIM store yesterday. I paid 20 euros for a SIM card for my unlocked iPhone 5. This included 400 minutes (in Italy), 1000 text message (in Italy) and 2 GB of data! Apparently this is a special. I must admit the sign actually said 10 euros and I couldn't understand whether the other 10 euros were an activation fee but I couldn't care less for those 10 euros... especially since the guy at the store took the time (about 20 minutes per phone) to get our phones all set up and working. I activated Verizon's international data ($25 for 100MB) just in case we needed it... I don't regret having done so because it gave me peace of mind but I am also happy that I won't have to pay $25 for every 100MB. I am taking the risk and just using this to get around (Google Maps, Waze or Similar) and saving the 40 euros the TomTom app costs. I just wanted to post this just in case anyone is trying to figure out whether to get a GPS app and/or a SIM card from the US.
