The most convenient way to keep in touch with your new Italian friends and family back home is buying an Italian SIM card at cell phone providers such as TIM, 3, Vodafone or Wind. Only triband and quadband phones will work in Europe. Check with your home cell phone service provider to find out if your current cell phone (once unlocked) can support an international SIM card. Once in Italy, you may look into signing up for a plan or simply getting pre-paid/rechargeable service. If you do not have a GSM phone purchased at home, you may also buy one at a reasonable cost once in Italy. Mobile phones shops also provide Internet connection plans.
If you wish to open a bank account, rent an apartment or purchase the National Health Insurance cover, you will need a Tax Code, Codice Fiscale. It is a 16-character alphanumeric code issued free of charge by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) to identify Italian nationals and foreign residents in Italy.

It is free to obtain, and it is valid for a lifetime. A tax code is calculated on your surname (three letters), name (three letters), date and place of birth, sex (five characters) and a checksum letter.

Although it can be generated by using unofficial online tools, only Tax codes issued by the Italian Revenue Agency/ Agenzia delle Entrate are valid by law.
