Which countries are included in the Europe eSIM?

The plan reaches 36 countries, namely the entire EU plus, among others, Iceland, Norway, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Switzerland is excluded.

Can I use the data in all the covered countries?

Yes. A single data allowance is shared by all the countries on the list, without surcharges or limits when you cross borders.

Isn't EU roaming enough?

Within the EU your Italian plan often works in roaming, but with reduced data volumes. The eSIM becomes particularly useful when the trip includes countries outside the EU (United Kingdom, Turkey).

How much time does it take to activate the eSIM?

Activation is instant: the QR code is emailed to you and you install it prior to leaving.

How much does an eSIM for Europe cost?

eSIM plans for Europe start from €1.79. You pay once for the amount of data you choose — no subscription, no monthly fees and no hidden roaming charges. Plans with more data or longer validity cost more.

Can I keep my Italian number with the eSIM in Europe?

Yes. Your Italian SIM and number stay active — the travel eSIM works alongside it as a data-only line. You stay reachable on WhatsApp, iMessage or Wi-Fi while you use the local network to browse. Traditional calls and SMS still go through your Italian number.

Can I top up or renew the plan for Europe?

Yes. When the data runs out or the validity expires, just buy a new plan — the eSIM profile already installed is kept and does not need to be installed again. You stay connected without interruption.

Can I share the connection (hotspot) in Europe?

Yes. You can share the connection in Europe through a personal hotspot with a computer, tablet or other devices. Shared data is deducted from your plan, so allow a few extra gigabytes if you expect to use the hotspot often.

How many GB do I need for Europe?

For a normal trip, 1–3 GB a week is enough for maps, messages and occasional browsing. With social media and photo sharing allow about 5 GB; for streaming, video calls or a hotspot count on 10 GB or more. If the volume is not enough, you can buy an additional plan at any time.

Is the eSIM compatible with my phone?

The eSIM works with all compatible devices — including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. The phone must also be free of operator locks (not blocked). You can check compatibility in the settings under "Mobile data", or by dialling *#06# to see whether an EID code is shown.

Europe is simple to cross, with Paris, Rome, Barcelona and Vienna only a few hours apart by train or plane. For a journey touching several nations the regional Europe eSIM is the ideal choice. One data plan serves every one of the 36 countries included, your connection stays the same and nothing has to be changed at the borders. As well as the EU countries, the plan works in the United Kingdom, Turkey, Ukraine, Norway and Iceland. Install the eSIM beforehand through the QR code and you will be online on arrival, with no roaming costs and no change of SIM.

Why use an eSIM in Europe

A regional Europe eSIM pays off on multi-country tours, above all when the route leaves the EU for the United Kingdom, Turkey or Ukraine, where Italian roaming is not valid. If you stay within the EU, roaming is often included, but the data allowance is smaller than your domestic one, so check what you have. For one country alone, a national plan generally works out better value. Note: the Europe plan does not include Switzerland, which has its own dedicated eSIM.

Which eSIM plan fits you best?

Holidaymakers

Going away for 1-2 weeks? Pick a plan with 3-5 GB for maps, photos and messages.

Business travellers

For video conferencing and email while travelling, we suggest at least 5 GB or an unlimited plan.

Backpackers

A longer trip is better served by 10+ GB, or by a regional plan that spans multiple countries.

Families

For families with several devices we recommend a plan with tethering support and enough data.
