Not sure how much you need? Describe the trip and we choose.
Whether you need a travel eSIM for Italy depends on where your phone plan comes from. Italy is in the EU roaming zone, so an EU SIM roams there at home prices, within its fair-use limit. A UK SIM lost that right with Brexit, and many UK operators now charge a daily fee in Italy. Visitors from outside Europe usually pay full roaming rates.
A travel eSIM gives you a fixed price instead: you install a data plan before you leave, and your phone connects to an Italian network when you land in Rome, Milan, Venice or Naples. Our Italy plans run on the networks listed below, with 5G in the cities and 4G elsewhere.
Italy plans start on your first connection in Italy, not at purchase, and there are plans for stays of several months. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts.
Why Aynet
We show every plan we sell for Italy with its real price, cheapest first, and the networks it uses. No daily fee, no fair-use cap from a home plan you cannot see.
Not sure which size fits? Describe the trip in one sentence and we recommend one plan. If you run low, top up the same eSIM from My eSIMs without a new QR code. If you never install it, you get your money back.
Payment is a one-off card payment through Stripe, and the QR code waits in My eSIMs and in your inbox. Questions go to support@aynet.ai.

Good to know
- Turn on data roaming
- Once you land, switch data roaming on for the Aynet line. It costs nothing extra: the plan is the price. Keep roaming off on your home SIM so it does not charge you.
- When the plan starts
- Italy plans start on your first connection in Italy, and each plan says when it starts before you buy. An unstarted plan shows its install-by date in My eSIMs.
- Mountains and islands
- Cities, the coast and the main rail lines are well covered. In the Alps, the Dolomites and remote valleys the signal can drop out for every network, so download offline maps before long hikes.
- More than one country?
- Italy is also part of our Europe plans. For Italy alone, an Italy plan is usually the better value; for a route through France, Spain or further, describe it and we compare.

Questions travellers ask
Do I need an eSIM for Italy if I have an EU SIM?
Often not: an EU SIM roams in Italy at home prices, within its fair-use limit. An Italy eSIM is for UK and non-EU phones, or when you need more data than your home plan allows abroad.
Does my UK roaming work in Italy?
Not for free on most plans. Since Brexit many UK operators charge a daily fee in the EU. An Italy eSIM gives you data at a fixed price instead.
Which network will I be on in Italy?
One of the Italian networks listed on this page. Your phone picks the one with the best signal where you are and can switch as you move.
Is there 5G in Italy?
Yes, where the networks have built it, mostly in the big cities. Elsewhere you get 4G. You need a 5G phone to use it.
When should I install the eSIM?
Before you fly, on Wi-Fi at home. Installing does not start an Italy plan; the days start when your phone first connects in Italy.
Can I keep my own number?
Yes. The eSIM carries data only. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls, texts and bank verification codes.
What if I run out of data?
Top up the same eSIM from My eSIMs while the plan is running. No new QR code, and the price is shown before you pay.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, if the eSIM has never been installed. Once it is installed on a phone it cannot be refunded, because the profile is tied to that device.
