I do have a non-working SIM from Fastweb (Italy).
It is my daily SIM, so I can't ship that one to you.

There are two possible ways I can (and want to) help with this issue:

#1st option (preferable):
I can try and investigate the issue myself.
I will need assistance from you in the first month or so, to build up
the specific knowledge necessary to handle this case.
I'm confident I can learn fast enough to then do some progress on my own..
This is a thing that *must* be resolved. The only way is to join efforts
through a cooperative approach.
No single replicant developer has currently enough
time/energies/resources to focus on this, it seems.
Maybe by sharing informations and carefully dividing tasks among
different devs, this issue can be overcome.

#2nd option (avoidable):
I could buy another SIM having the features you listed and ship it to you.
In the worst case, I can pay for a recurring recharge for some months,
giving you some time to work on it.

Please, let me know which option you consider the most suitable in terms
of "costs vs. benefits".
This can't be left behind for too long, I fear.

Cheers,

Fil
