What is needed to use HTC Trophy in Italy

[Mifter]

Hey all,

I am going to be traveling abroad in Italy for about 2 weeks within the coming months, and I was wondering if anyone knew what procedure is needed to unlock an off contract HTC Trophy on verizon to use on an Italian network and where I could acquire a prepaid SIM card with data for the 2 weeks I am going to be there. Furthermore, is a new SIM card just plug and play for an unlocked phone or is there some other procedure I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I go to France and you're best off picking up an Italian Pay As You Go SIM card when you get there. I think TIM is a major wireless carrier in Italy. When I go to France, I just stop by an Orange store and get a Pay As You Go SIM card. They have them all over France so they are easy to find.
