Your plan, your setup and a little help along the way.
Choose an allowance above. We’ll show its networks, hotspot details and what happens when your data is used.
Choose a planLand first.
Then install.
We’ll email your setup details when your eSIM is ready. Save the email for your arrival.
Wait until you have landed before using Quick Install, scanning the QR code, entering the manual code or activating the eSIM.
Join the airport’s passenger Wi-Fi and complete its sign-in screen. Open a webpage to check you’re connected.
Then open your SIM Shop setup email and follow the instructions to install and activate your eSIM.
Wi-Fi not working? Wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady, trusted connection before installing.
Check that your phone supports eSIM and is network unlocked before buying.
A Rome, Florence and Venice itinerary often puts train bookings and accommodation messages on the same phone. Keep the exact station names and arrival instructions together, especially when the last leg involves a boat or a walk with luggage.
Messages and calls in apps use your data. Standard calls, SMS and a local number need a separate mobile service.
Choose a fixed data allowance for your trip. Compare the total data, validity and price, then check the selected plan’s coverage and start window.
Buy Italy eSIM data before you travel. Pick the data amount that fits your trip and save the setup email, but do not tap quick install, scan the QR code, enter the manual code or activate the eSIM before departure.
A Rome, Florence and Venice itinerary often puts train bookings and accommodation messages on the same phone. Keep the exact station names and arrival instructions together, especially when the last leg involves a boat or a walk with luggage.
Venezia Santa Lucia brings you to Venice’s canals, while a booking to Venezia Mestre may need an onward train connection. Check your station on Venezia Unica, then match it to your accommodation’s arrival instructions. Save your accommodation’s recommended stop and walking directions so you are not relying on a fresh search at the station.
If your trip continues by ferry, keep the operator’s ticket and terminal details alongside your rail bookings. Check the sailing for your actual travel date before committing to a tight connection. Choose your data and validity around the whole Italian trip, including travel days between stays.
These plans are data-only unless a product option says otherwise. They do not include a local phone number for standard calls or SMS. Check compatibility, coverage, validity and hotspot needs before purchase.
Recommended setup timing: buy before you fly, then install only after you land. Join the airport’s free passenger Wi-Fi where offered, complete its sign-in page and open a normal webpage to prove it works. If it is unavailable or unstable, wait for hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection. Open your SIM Shop setup email and install only when that Wi-Fi test works.
