Italy travel data eSIM
What is an Italy eSIM?
An Italy eSIM lets you roam the historic streets of Rome, the canals of Venice, the art-filled alleys of Florence and the sunny Amalfi coast without swapping SIM cards. Just install the eSIM before you depart, and you’ll have a data‑only plan ready for maps, translation, ticket apps and sharing your travel moments as you explore Italy’s cities, islands and mountain passes.
When you arrive in Italy the eSIM connects to TIM 5G, Iliad 5G or Wind 5G networks, depending on which operator is available in your location. Your data allowance is drawn down from the plan you chose, and you can use it for navigation, online bookings and everyday online services throughout your stay.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Italy
The eSIM links to the TIM, Iliad and Wind 5G networks across Italy. As you move between regions, the device will attach to the operator that is present, so you stay online wherever the chosen network provides service. The actual reach depends on each operator’s infrastructure in the area you are visiting.
5 plans are available for Italy, from $3.90 up to $19.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator(s) does the Italy eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM can connect to TIM 5G, Iliad 5G or Wind 5G. This gives you access to the same networks that local residents use, so you can browse, map routes and use apps just as they do.
Does the Italy eSIM also work in a real neighbouring country of Italy?
It is a single‑country plan valid only in Italy. For trips that also include France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Vatican City or San Marino, regional multi‑country plans are available.
Which plan size suits a trip to Rome and Venice?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB 30‑day plan often covers two major cities with moderate daily usage, while the 10 GB option provides extra flexibility for streaming or heavier navigation needs.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
