Anyone need a TIM card?
I bought a TIM card in Rome in early March, loaded 30 euros of time on it, and never used it because my phone wasn't unlocked. I'm clueless about these things, but I believe it will work in any unlocked phone. If anyone wants to buy it, let me know!

I'm surprised you could load more time on it if it wasn't working. Weren't they able to unlock your phone?

Well. I am going in August and need one anyway.
look11. I just wanted to say that I did the very same thing for Budapest in October. I forgot to take the unlocked phone and took by new one. Duh! And it took me a while to figure out why the SIM wouldn't work.

Yes, SIM card, but in Italy it's called a TIM.
I'm a she.
I was given a phone that was supposedly "jailbroken" and unlocked. Several phone sales people in Florence couldn't figure out why the card wouldn't work. Finally, the guy at the Apple store - it was an old iPhone - said it had to be jailbroken wth Italian software. Someone else said it wasn't unlocked. I gave up at that point because it was stressing me out when I just wanted to enjoy my trip.
Ky - I put the minutes on when I purchased the card because I figured I'd use those first 5 minutes pretty quickly. The guy at the Rome airport phone shop put the card it, but we didn't try to make a call. Stupid me. Should have done that before leaving the store, but it was a layover and I was in a hurry.
Greg - Yes, you always give your passport for a SIM card purchase. What does that have to do with who uses it?
So, bottom line, I was told someone else can use this card. If that's not the case, then so be it. Is there any way to find out for sure?
