Mmm.. will "RICARICard airtime vouchers" work with that SIM card ?

Nevermind.. it all looks dirt cheap for air/data time compared with here in Canada (eg. 1GB data for EU12.). One possible issue though: I read that an Italian SIM likely would result in Italian language for all of the voicemail prompts and also for the "topping up" service via the phone. Our Italian may not be good enough for that.

But the EU rates for Vodaphone look cheap enough that perhaps we might just get a French or German SIM from Vodaphone and use that for the entire trip.

Still thinking about it all. Suggestions and advice would be more than welcome!

Cheers
