TIM prepaid price hike and Canva offer

In late July 2026, Italian telecom operator TIM announced a two‑part consumer initiative. On 20 July it introduced a free Canva Pro subscription for broadband and mobile customers – six months for standard users and twelve months for those on the converged TIM Unica service – as part of its TIM Star loyalty program. The same announcement flagged an upcoming price adjustment for prepaid SIM customers of €1.99 per month, effective after the 31 August renewal, with options to avoid the rise by switching to a data‑enhanced plan or terminating the contract before 30 September.

A week later, on 27 July, TIM detailed the prepaid fee change, extending the increase to between €1.99 and €2.99 per month depending on the plan and confirming a new contract‑modification window starting 3 September. Customers were given concrete alternatives (additional data bundles, a 5G Ultra profile, or a dedicated offer with the same price) and a clear opt‑out process via SMS or other channels. TIM justified the hike as necessary due to “economic needs linked to changed market conditions,” noting it was the tenth unilateral modification announced in 2026.

Together, the snapshots trace TIM’s rollout of a promotional design‑tool benefit alongside a stepped‑up pricing strategy for its prepaid segment.
