As usual, 30 minutes at the counter. It's never easy for me. I will say the line wasn't bad.
If you haven't already, install the TIM app. They put their promos in there and you can activate most of them from within the app itself. For instance, one that I'm looking at right now is 1000 minutes + unlimited texting + 2GB data for 15 euro. I'm hoping it's still there in 2 weeks so that I can activate it when I land, as I need to top up my balance first.
This might be obvious, maybe not, but the TIM app is only in the iTunes Italy store. You'll need to make an account there if you don't have one already.
