Best eSIM Plans for Italy: Pricing per GB Compared

If you use mobile data sparingly, for 5-7 day trips we recommend the 3GB or 5GB tariff (~$2/GB and ~$1.80/GB). But if you plan to use more than just basic travel apps, like actively watching Reels, working, or streaming videos, a larger option is a better choice. The 50 GB package offers the best value at just $0.96/GB.

Faq
What’s the best-value eSIM plan for traveling in Italy?
The most versatile plan is 3 GB for 30 days at $5.99 (around $2 per GB). It’s a better deal than the 1 GB plan ($3.99/GB) or the 2 GB plan ($2.50/GB), and it’s usually enough for a 7–10 day trip with moderate data use. If you work online or plan to stream movies, consider the 10 GB eSIM Italy plan (~$1.20/GB) or 20 GB plan (~$1/GB) for better value and more flexibility.
Will I have internet access in Sardinia and Sicily?
Yes, mobile coverage extends across all regions of Italy, including the islands. You’ll be connected to the top local carriers — TIM, Vodafone, and Wind Tre — which provide strong internet signals not only in Sardinia and Sicily but also on the smaller neighboring islands.
Will my eSIM work on arrival at Malpensa to book a transfer to Linate?
Yes, with an Italy eSIM, as well as regional European eSIMs, you’ll get internet access immediately upon arrival at the airport, and you’ll also be able to book and pay for transfer services online.
What documents do I need to provide to buy an eSIM?
One of the main advantages of a travel eSIM is that you don’t need to provide any documents – even your name/surname. To make a purchase, simply create an account with PrimaSIM and enter your email address.
Can I share mobile data from my phone to my laptop when using an eSIM?
Yes! At PrimaSIM, we don’t restrict the «Hotspot» feature – you’re free to share your connection with other devices without any limits or extra charges.
