Hello modicasa
I am with Energia.
I pay online using the IBAN number I obtained from their website. I have to calculate the bill and pay more so I am always ahead with a safety margin. But I have never received a bill or any communication over the last 5 years.
I tried setting up an Italian Bank account two years ago but the Banks I contacted told me they saw the Uk as a third party country and did not have a procedure in place for me to start the account. So not very helpful.
Thank you very much.

Submitted by alan h on Wed, 12/30/2020 - 04:50Don't know whether this will work, but .............
Can you get an Italian neighbour to buy a cheap pay as you go mobile for you?
Until you get to Italy, they will need to forward any messages to you, or they could send you the SIM card to you.
(I have an Italian bank account, so pay by Direct Debit - but SEN do send me me regular bills in the UK, so I know what is being paid)

Sorry to hear this Alan.
I hope there is a solution for you.
Does the Bank offer any advice on what to do in this scenario.

Nothing from the Bank yet.
My Italian friend is trying to chase them up.
Hopefully they will transfer the account to a branch in a bigger town nearby.

Hello alan.
Thank you for your response.
I was thinking of doing this but and have a builder friend who may be able to help.
Interestingly the property was damaged in storm Alex in October. Apparently a bit from a rescue helicoptor may have fallen off and damaged the roof. It caused damage to other properties as well. I was sent some photographs by the builder and could see that the light was on so some good!!. I'm now trying to get an insurance claim going so will post another question for information.

Submitted by stevegwmonkseaton on Wed, 12/30/2020 - 06:02I'm sure there was a way of doing this in the past, but it's a while since we've had to deal with them. Perhaps another way forward either temporary or otherwise without getting an Italian mobile is to look at a virtual sim with an Italian number - cloud sim or the like. Search virtual SIM.

Hello Steve
This is a very interesting idea.
I am looking into this to see if it will be a solution.
BTW I know Monkseaton very well as my wife is from this area we often walk along the coast.
Thanks

Submitted by modicasa on Thu, 12/31/2020 - 01:49Have you registered on the enel.it website? Who did the change of user on your account in the beginning? They may have registered you for online bills only. If you register on the site, with email and codice fiscale, you should be able to check your usage. What do you mean when you say 'you cant get ENEL to send you a bill'?

Submitted by RaphaelHarris on Fri, 01/01/2021 - 04:04There is No way and now, even online banking without an Italian mobile number is not possible. Regarding ENEL payments, You either open a bank account in italy using your codice fiscale and your address here in italy and connect the bill payment to the account so every month it is automatically withdrawn or you or someone here does it for you by taking the money and the bill to the tobacco shop and pay.

Submitted by She57 on Sat, 01/02/2021 - 05:20You could try asking someone in italy to buy you an Italian SIM card and post it to you. You could then use that in your U.K. phone. We have a phone with a dual SIM card- one U.K. and one Italian- to avoid the necessity of having two phones.
