義大利旅行系列 – 2018 義大利上網最新方案 - TIM International Senza Limiti è & TIM International 30GB

2018年三月初,TIM重新調整了產品組合,目前推薦背包同好們可以由以下兩個方案中做選擇。

  • TIM International Senza Limiti è (英譯TIM International without Limits)
  • TIM International 30GB

TIM International Senza Limiti è看起來是個新名字,不過其實有個老靈魂,因為這個方案是由過去最多人選用的TIM International 1000演變出來的,原本的TIM International 1000 (New/Super...)則停售。

本方案的官網說明在此(義大利文) https://www.tim.it/offerte/mobile/estero/dallitalia/tim-international-senza-limiti
 

主要特色

  • 只供在義大利以外出生的外國人仕申請。
  • 雖然大部份的背包客都取其便宜又大碗,只會用1~2週,事實上它是一個可以逐月續約使用的方案,最長為24個月。
  • 本方案月繳11歐,用信用卡扣款或銀行帳戶自動扣款者月費降為9歐 (但我相信如果是跟我一樣的短期背包客,你應該不會去貪這種便宜卻找自己一堆麻煩)。

 

服務內容

  1. 每月10Gb的網路流量

  2. TIM網內語音電話互打免費 (所以方案名稱叫無限)
  3. 有300分鐘的國際電話時數可以撥往特定國家(China, India, Bangladesh, Poland, Peru, Romania, Mexico, Colombia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Israel, Singapore, Cyprus.)
  4. 撥打其他國家則依官方網頁上所列的優惠費率計費,但此優惠費率每月以1000分鐘為上限。只是臺灣並不在清單上,可能是不在優惠範圍內。
  5. 雖然官網上沒寫,但筆者在此特別註明一下,這方案沒有包括免費的簡訊,而額外扣款可能導致嚴重的後果,使用簡訊前請三思。(以後有空再另文說明)

申辦費用

註:抱歉,筆者本身並不懂義大利文,由線上翻譯盡力試著解讀,但這次TIM官網上的文字有點繞口,描述內容有可能不準確,歡迎懂義文者多多指教。

本方案的月費由之前的9.9歐微調為11歐。
第一次申辦價格由(含SIM卡)由19.9歐調為25歐,包含一張SIM卡及20歐的額度。
另有原價23歐的開卡費(目前優惠為3歐)。
SIM卡效期為24個月。

 

分析與建議

 
跟TIM International系列的另一個方案TIM International 30GB比較,兩者的價格完全相同,差別在TIM International Senza Limiti è(或先前的TIM International 1000)在上網流量外還含免費的國內通話時數。這一點在義大利旅行時其實很實用,例如跟旅館/民宿確認事情/預告抵達時間,或是餐廳訂位。

很多人因擔心流量不夠而放棄通話功能改買TIM International 30GB,但根據我本身的經驗 (兩個人共用同一網卡,每天上FB及Line, 講10分鐘左右的Skype or Messenger,少量上傳照片,離線導航自駕3天,12天下來只用了2 Gb),現在方案提供10Gb應該是用不完的,電話倒是真的打了好幾通。因此個人認為TIM International Senza Limiti è在方案內容上會是比TIM International 30GB更方便的選擇。

義大利旅行系列 - 2016 義大利上網方案新方案 - TIM International 1000

TIM的方案經常翻陳出新,一直在變。當然,挑方案要先考慮需求,有人只要網路,有人只要電話,也有人是想要兩者兼顧的方案。

我自己的使用經驗是網路為主,但最好也能有少量通話時數。先前個人的blog推荐過TIM for Visitors,不過這段時間以來方案一直推陳出新,有些方案比兩三年前能找到的優了很多倍,現在我建議你應該優先考慮一下這個:

TIM International 1000 New

方案內容包括:
  • 1000分鐘的通話
  • 2GB的網路流量
  • 每4週為一期
  • 申辦時索價僅9.99歐 (SIM卡另收10歐),之後每28天會自動扣9.99歐,直到沒錢可扣為止。
目標客群是義大利以外出生的國際人仕(要驗證件),到期可以續約。(所以如果第一個人申辦的人行程結束回來後很快把SIM卡交接給下一個人,可以後容易的充值而繼續使用)。
 
至於所謂的通話1000分鐘,當然包括義大利國內的固定電話及行動電話,但國際電話就因國家地區有不同的收費標準。 

  • 中國大陸單價最低1cent/min
  • 但臺灣完全未列在表上,通話的單價不詳
  • 所以說起來對臺灣旅客而言,這方案還是以網路功能+當地聯絡通話為主。
  • 不過現大多數人都是用網路電話來跟親友聯絡/報平安,所以影響應該不大
但這方案的價格比其他方案便宜許多,TIM的訊號在各地都在水準之上,光是這兩點就無敵了吧! 
  

<2017年四月更新>

TIM的方案持續進化,先前談的TIM International 1000 New再度升級成TIM International 1000 Super
 
新方案主要的特色是:

  • 每4週為一期 (28天而不是30天)
  • 申辦時索價僅9.99歐 (SIM卡另收10歐),之後每28天為一個計費週期 (自動扣9.99歐),直到卡片餘額轉負之後就無法使用,除非再儲值。

  • 1000分鐘的語音播打
  • 語音電話TIM網內互打變成免費
  • 語音播打的部份是可以漫遊的(接聽當然也是)。

  • 網路流量由2Gb升級為10Gb
  • 網路的部份在歐盟國家是可以漫遊的,但流量以4Gb為上限
  • 如果10GB流量用完,且沒有其他資料方案,則允許有1Gb的寬容,此時網路功能會持續,但每200Mb收費1.9歐(前提是卡中餘額需保持為正值)。寬容值也超過之後網路功能會暫停,直到下一計費週期。


1000分鐘中有300分鐘可以撥打以下國家:China, India, Bangladesh, Poland, Peru, Romania, Mexico, Colombia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Israel, Singapore, Cyprus. 其他的則依TIM官網的表計價(臺灣並未在兩者之中,狀況不詳)。
 
簡單來說就是比起之前最佳的方案更優了,不論是網路及語音幾乎都不可能用得完,而且在有效期限內語音的部份是可以漫遊的。

義大利旅行系列 – 2018 義大利上網最新方案 - TIM International Senza Limiti è & TIM International 30GB

3/01/2016

義大利旅行系列 - TIM行動上網方案申辦地點: 羅馬篇

應該有相當多的國人前往義大利時選擇羅馬做為他們的第一站吧,您可以在以下幾個地點申辨TIM的方案。

l Roma Stazione Termini 特米尼車站
由網路上討論的盛況來看,似乎多數人都是去特米尼車站的TIM直營店申辦他們的行動上網方案,在1及-1樓 (即我們習知的2樓及地下室)各有一家。不過正因為這個點方便,各國旅客來這兒申辦的人最多,白天尖峰時有可能要等上一兩小時,你最好有些心理準備。

你可以分別到樓上樓下看一看那邊人比較少。另外,有網友說這裡的營業時間是08:00~22:00,如果你住得離車站不遠,倒是可以考慮在早上一開門或晚上九點以後再晃過來,那時等候的人應該會少很多。

-1樓那家有一點很特別,這裡對遊客販售的產品是列在一張單子上的Tourist Package (如附圖),其他地方都沒見過這做法,推測是一家經銷商而非直營店。上面的內容都故意不寫方案名稱,但其實熟悉TIM方案的朋友不難大致對應出各是那一個方案。結果會發現這標價比官網上的貴上好幾成到一倍不等。如此唬弄遊客實在不道德,此除非你要買兩張卡合購的方案,否則我會建議你去別家店。

後來經過一段時間的觀察,發現樓上那家也是用Tourist Package的方式在賣,價格會比官網價多幾歐,只是價格沒有樓下那麼誇張。當你指名官網上方案名稱時他會說沒貨,但實際上跟它單子上賣的是一樣的東西。



註:打*表示曾有朋友回報此店以原價賣產品
 
l Via Merulana
另一個店離特米尼車站800公尺,步行約10分鐘,也不算太遠。
 
地址:Via Merulana, 261, 00185 Roma
 
l Piazza Colonna 圓柱廣場*
離著名的許願池Trevi Fountain (特雷維噴泉)只有兩個街口(100公尺左右),也許可以在路過時順便辦,我相信人會比車站那兒少一些。

地址:Piazza Colonna 353, 00186 Roma

l Fontana di Piazza Colonna(馬可奧里略之柱所在的廣場)*Via del Corso 及Via Vittoria 的路口
 地址:Via del Corso, 87、00187 Roma

l Piazza di S. Cosimato
地址:Piazza di S. Cosimato, 66A, 00153 Roma,

l 達文西機場
很多人想知道在羅馬的達文西機場是否有TIM的店舖賣SIM卡,以便在下機後的第一時間就申辦。精簡版的答案是,建議你還是到羅馬市區去辦吧。

據我的研究,TIM在機場的確是有一家直營店,不過是位於Gate B的安全管制區內,換句話說,在Gate B離境的旅客要通過證照查驗後進入安全管制區後才會看到這家店,即使你去程的班機是泊在Gate B,你的動線正常來說應該也不會看到。

再者,大多數由亞洲或美洲飛來的航空公司 (中華航空、中國國際航空、中國南方航空、國泰航空、新加坡航空、大韓航空、日本航空、阿聯酋、土耳其航空…)都是停泊在Gate C。所以即使機場空有一家店,我們大多數人恐怕都看不見摸不著。

不過,如果你是乘歐洲的航空公司並在歐洲其他城市轉機來羅馬的,如荷航,那也許有機會去試著找找看。

如果你知道在羅馬還有其他的地點,歡迎不吝賜教。
