What type of eSIM card for Italy?

For a stay in Italy, , take a Prepaid eSIM with mobile data, valid only in Italy : it's generally the simplest choice if you mainly want to use maps, messaging and online bookings. Check before purchase that your phone is eSIM compatible and unlocked. Many travel offers are «data only»: they don't provide an Italian number or regular calls, but WhatsApp and other Internet calls will work with data.

For a week, choose the volume based on your usage: a few gigabytes are enough if you mainly use maps and messages on Wi-Fi whenever possible; plan for more if you watch videos or often share your connection. Install the eSIM with Wi-Fi before departure, then activate it on arrival. You can keep your usual SIM to receive calls or codes, but turn off its data roaming to avoid charges. In Maremma and in rural areas, the signal can vary depending on the location and the network used by the offer: check the partner networks and tethering conditions before paying.
