I'm bringing an unlocked quad band phone. I would really like to have the phone working when I get to my B&B in the city because I have read that it is difficult to find the location the first time (and it's on the fourth floor, no elevator). Am hoping that somebody knows if I can buy the SIM right in the airport. I'm planning to get a taxi into Rome (am flying from west coast and will be very tired for sure). If not, where is the closest to the airport?

Thanks.

Appears to be 'not good news'. I asked the same question a few days ago:
