Preliminary information
Before getting to the heart of this tutorial and explaining how to top up TIM FWA, let me briefly explain how the offer in question works and, above all, what are the costs and how to top up.
As you probably already know, TIM FWA is a rechargeable offer from TIM dedicated to new customers who want to surf from home with maximum flexibility even for short periods. The offer includes unlimited traffic to surf up to 40 Mbps in download and up to 4 Mbps in upload on FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) technology, in which the signal arrives in fiber up to the Radio Base Station, while the final stretch up to user travels on the LTE / LTE Advanced mobile network), without calls.
The activation of the offer in question, which also includes a FWA modem and a FWA SIM on loan for use, allows you to surf for 90 or 180 days depending on the offer chosen. At the end of the 90 or 180 days included, navigation stops automatically: to continue browsing, simply purchase one of the top-ups available according to your needs.
- 30 days: allows you to surf without limits for 30 days at a one-off cost of € 27.90;
- 90 days: allows you to surf without limits for 90 days at a one-off cost of 78.90 euros;

Finally, I would like to underline that it is possible to make a new top-up only at the end of the days included in the activated offer or in the last top-up made. You can view the number of days of navigation still available by accessing the MyTIM customer area and selecting the telephone number associated with the TIM FWA line of your interest. Having clarified this, let’s see how to proceed to buy a new top-up.

In this case, it is also possible to pay in cash and with the other payment instruments accepted by the specific store.

Finally, make the payment and that’s it.
In case of problems
How do you say? Can’t recharge TIM FWA? In this case, check that you have exhausted the days of navigation included in the offer you activated or in the last top-up made: in fact, as I mentioned in the initial lines of this guide, it is not possible to make a new top-up if they are still available days of navigation.
If, on the other hand, you have successfully recharged and you have also received the confirmation SMS but, despite this, you are unable to surf, restart the modem supplied with the TIM FWA offer and you should be able to connect to the Internet.
If this is not the case or you are experiencing other problems, I recommend that you contact TIM customer service and request assistance. To do this, pick up your phone, dial 187 and initiate the call. After listening to the welcome message, carefully follow the instructions provided by the recorded voice and press the key combination to speak to a TIM operator.
