What's apn? Can't one just switch off data roaming?

Yes, you can buy a new SIM.
No, you cannot use it with iPhone if it's locked to AT&T or whatever service provider it is locked to.

You have to bear with roaming charges )=

Here's what I recommend though... And it's what I do:

I keep my original SIM in the iPhone. So I still receive messages.

I buy or bring a second phone (preferably a small one) and use a local (Italian for you) SIM. I use this to reply or call back. This is far cheaper than using the iPhone on roaming.

Also, I disable data connections by changing or erasing the APN.

I only use WiFi. (=

I shall be in italy for two weeks in June. How do I avoid roaming
charges? Also can I buy a local sim card and use it for my iPhone
which isn't jailbroken. It's the new 3gs.
