# Italy eSIM

> Get your Italy eSIM with unlimited data and 5G. Install it before you fly, keep your own number and travel with no roaming charges.

[Home](https://getgigapass.com/en) › [Destinations](https://getgigapass.com/en#destinos) › [Europe](https://getgigapass.com/en/europe) › Italy

- Instant delivery
- No surprise charges
- Fast connection
- Top up on the same eSIM

Install your eSIM before or during your trip. Your plan only starts with your first connection at your destination.

Secure payment

- Visa
- Mastercard
- American Express
- PayPal
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay

**What you can do**

- Video calls with no drop-outs
- Stories the moment they happen
- Videos that upload without the wait
- Maps always ready to guide you

Everything works. Wherever you are.

Check Maps, get a taxi, chat on WhatsApp, share your photos or connect your laptop over 5G and 4G, without relying on hotel Wi-Fi.

Your usual number stays put: your SIM keeps handling your calls, texts and WhatsApp, while the eSIM takes care of your travel data (and the minutes, if your plan includes them).

**Plan details**

- **Unlimited:** 5 GB at full speed every 24 hours
- **Network:** Wind Tre, Iliad

## How to set up your Italy eSIM

No SIM counter in Italy, just three steps, and only the last one happens when you land.

1. **Buy it and get your QR**

   As soon as you pay, an email arrives with the QR code and the instructions. No waiting, nothing to ship.
2. **Set it up at home over Wi-Fi**

   On your phone: Settings › Mobile data › Add eSIM, then scan the QR. You can do it weeks before flying to Italy: installing doesn't use up any days.
3. **Land in Italy already online**

   Switch on data roaming for the Gigapass line and it connects to a local network. That's when your plan starts.

## Guides for travelling to Italy

What to know before you get connected in Italy.

- [Internet in Italy: what your plan already covers and what it does not](https://getgigapass.com/en/blog/internet-in-italy) | Italy is inside European roaming, so the question is not which eSIM to buy but what your own plan covers. Real coverage, wi-fi and the odd cases. | 6 min

## Questions before you fly to Italy

**When does validity start counting?**

On almost every plan, with the first connection to a network at your destination: you can buy and install it weeks before travelling without using up a day. In a few destinations the plan starts when you install the eSIM, so there it's best to install it just before you leave. Each plan says so on its page, before you pay.

**Do I have to switch anything on when I land in Italy?**

Just data roaming on your Gigapass line. The eSIM connects to the local network by itself, and there are no extra charges: the price is fixed.

**Do I lose my number or my WhatsApp?**

No. Your SIM and your number stay active, and WhatsApp works with your usual number with nothing to set up: the eSIM handles your travel data (and the minutes, on plans that include them).

**What coverage and speed will I get in Italy?**

You connect to Wind Tre, Iliad with 5G / 4G data. Coverage is the same a local customer gets: excellent in cities, a bit weaker in remote areas, as with any network.

**What if I run out of data in Italy?**

You top up from your account in a minute, with nothing to reinstall and no new eSIM: the top-up goes onto the one you already have.

**Can I make calls or receive texts?**

Most plans are data only. Calls and texts still go through your usual SIM, so your provider may charge roaming for them. Some destinations do have plans that include minutes: where they exist, they are marked on that destination's page.

- **A plan for every trip**

  From 1 GB to unlimited, hotspot included.
- **Ready before takeoff**

  Install it at home over your own Wi-Fi.
- **Over 200 destinations**

  Countries, regions and a worldwide plan, on local networks.
- **No more roaming charges**

  You pay once before you go. That's it.
