A 1GB plan for 7 days costs just $2.49, and 5GB for a full month is $5.99, less than an airport coffee.

Using your Italy eSIM
Your eSIM connects as an international roaming line on the two networks with the deepest reach across the country. Expect fast 5G and LTE in Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence, along the main rail corridors and across most of the mainland. Coverage softens in the tighter valleys and on smaller roads, but the places most travellers spend their days are well served.
Italy's mainland LTE is genuinely strong, and central Rome and the Vatican are fully covered, so navigation and messaging hold up even in the busy historic core. The parts that can thin out are predictable: the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, the villages of the Cinque Terre, and the more remote stretches of Sicily and Sardinia, where signal can drop to a slower connection between towns. Plan for a weaker link when you are between hilltop villages or on a coastal footpath, and you won't be caught out.
Both Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa have solid signal in the arrivals hall, so the eSIM usually connects before you reach passport control. Because this is a roaming line, its data can exit through a gateway outside Italy, which means the occasional website or app may treat you as browsing from abroad. Everyday apps and maps work normally; if a rule around that ever changes, we'll say so plainly.
- Install and set up the eSIM on Wi-Fi before you fly; the plan only starts counting when it first connects to a network in Italy.
- Set the eSIM as your mobile-data line and switch Data Roaming on for that line only, leaving your own SIM untouched for calls and codes.
- If you see "No Service" after landing in Rome or Milan, toggle Airplane Mode once so the phone re-selects the partner network.
