Local know-how

What to know before you land in Italy

Coverage and networks

Italy's mobile market is carried by four networks: TIM, Vodafone Italia, WINDTRE and Iliad. 5G is live in every major city and 4G coverage is near-total along the coast and rail corridors; only remote Alpine valleys drop to slower speeds. Each plan card names the exact network before you pay.

Landing and activation

Install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and switch it on when you land at Fiumicino, Malpensa or any Italian airport; activation typically takes one to three minutes. Airport SIM kiosks in Rome and Milan charge tourist prices for less data.

Which plan fits your trip

A city break of 3 to 5 days is comfortable on 3 to 5 GB. Touring by train or car, or uploading video daily, fits better in a 10 GB or unlimited plan. Crossing into France, Switzerland or Austria on the same trip? A Europe regional bundle covers the borders on one eSIM.

Install in three steps

Set up your Italy eSIM in under a minute

  1. 1

    Buy the plan and get your QR code

    Pay once with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto. The activation QR arrives in your dashboard and email within seconds.

  2. 2

    Scan the QR from your phone settings

    On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network → SIMs → + → Use QR code. Or open the GetSim app and tap install, no QR scanning needed.

  3. 3

    Land, switch it on

    Set the GetSim eSIM as your default for cellular data. Your home SIM keeps handling calls and 2FA SMS in the background.

Your real number stays online. The eSIM only handles data. Calls, SMS, banking 2FA all keep arriving on your home SIM.
Crossing borders?

Going to more than just Italy?

A regional bundle covers Italy and 195+ other countries on a single eSIM, often cheaper than buying separate single-country plans for a multi-stop trip.

Frequently asked about Italy eSIMs

Yes. The GetSim eSIM installs as a second profile on your phone. Your home SIM and number stay active for calls and SMS. Set the GetSim eSIM as the default for cellular data only.

Plans run on tier-1 mobile networks in Italy. The exact carrier depends on the plan; you'll see the network name on each plan card before you pay.

Typical activation is 1–3 minutes after switching the eSIM on. Many travelers install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and toggle it on the moment the plane lands.

GetSim eSIMs are data-only. For voice and SMS, use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or Telegram. They all work seamlessly over the eSIM data. If you need a real phone number for verifications, pair the eSIM with a GetSim virtual number from the same wallet.

Top up the eSIM directly from your dashboard or the GetSim app, no need to install a new profile. Top-ups are billed per-GB at the same rate as the original plan.
