Yes it is a genuine bargain and I read about it on this site FIRST. So sincere thanks for the post. We finally got round to cross checking Tele 2 our "first choice" provider (their site now lacks detailed info) and Elephant Talk (very good for calling abroad if you are not always in Italy). The 10 euros a month offer was the best deal but we also discovered that for months we had been paying for a Telecom It. service we did not use. The nice lady from Telecom Italia rang to say we'd get a 50 euro refund! Anyhow I am not the trusting type so even though the website says we registerd on ? June, I am dialling 1033 before 0044 until we have completed the forms to cancel our "first choice" provided by Tele 2. That has been the most laborious part of changing. You ring Telecom Italia to say you are cancelling the Tele 2 service. Answer trillions of questions and because of the Legge, they have to send you a form to sign. So beware if you too are using another company at present for your "first choice" service provider. You could still be paying another co. until a form is completed, for what you think is only 10 euros a month to Telecom Italia.

We've used the E10pm service for over 2 years now, its been a godsend, although it covers europe this does not include Italy, this costs another E15 pm.

If you go to the :: 187.it - Homepage - :: website then you can sign up online. Saves on the connection charges to. Didn't take long for me [Less then 1 week]
