eSIM for Italy
Whether you're in Rome's ancient streets or Tuscany's vineyards, stay connected across Italy.
Mobile internet in Italy
An eSIM is the easiest way to stay online while travelling in Italy. You can choose from 29 data bundles from €6.99, with sizes ranging from 1 GB to 100 GB. Need a lot of data? Unlimited bundles are available too.
In Italy your eSIM connects to local networks such as Windtre (Wind/Hutchison), Iliad Italia S.p.A and Vodafone Italia S.p.A, with 4G and 5G speeds where available.
How much data you need depends mostly on what you do while travelling. For navigation, WhatsApp and the occasional scroll through social media, 1 to 3 GB is usually plenty for a short trip. The smallest bundle for Italy starts at 1 GB, so you never pay for more than you need. If you stream a lot of video or share photos every day, pick a larger bundle or an unlimited option.
That way you avoid high roaming charges and skip hunting for a local SIM on arrival. You keep your own number for WhatsApp and texts, and use the eSIM purely for data. Installation takes a few minutes using the QR code you receive by email.
