Each plan connects to the networks listed on its page, so you choose your carrier before you buy. Coverage varies by area: a listed network does not guarantee signal everywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my US phone in Italy?
Yes, if roaming is on for your line, but US carriers usually charge by the day. An unlocked phone that supports eSIM can instead use an Italian data plan on TIM, Vodafone, WindTre or Iliad, while your US number stays on for calls and texts. Check your own plan's terms: older or legacy plans may differ.

How do I get an eSIM for Italy?
The simplest way is to buy a travel eSIM online and install it at home, so it connects to TIM, Vodafone, WindTre or Iliad as soon as you land at Fiumicino, Venice Marco Polo or Naples. If you would rather have an Italian line, Iliad, TIM, Vodafone and WindTre all offer prepaid eSIM plans for international travellers.

Mentions ItalyI used it in Italy in 2024 and in Spain in 2026, and I was very satisfied. The app has improved day by day, and I never experienced any issues. I don't know about other apps, but I highly recommend MobiMatter. I bought 15GB of internet in Spain, and even though I didn't use that much, I still have 10GB left.

Used this app for mobile data while in Malaysia for a few days last week. I rate it 10/10 for ease of use, affordability and for effectiveness too. After 5 days of regular usage, I still have 8GB left out of 10GB

I had a problem because I accidentally activated the wrong eSIM and couldn’t understand why my data wasn’t working. I contacted support, and they figured out the issue right away. They explained everything clearly and stayed helpful throughout the whole process. Their customer support is honestly 10/10—fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Everything worked perfectly once I activated the correct eSIM. Highly recommend both the service and the support team. Thank you!

I loved it! I can have data wherever I go, they have many options, the data lasts a long time and is very affordable. I used the 3GB option for Europe and I've already had data for 15 days for €5. Honestly, if you manage it well and use it only when you don't have Wi-Fi, it can easily last you thirty days. I still have 1.6 GB left (half) and I have 10 days left on the plan. Highly recommended app for eSIM 💪

I needed an eSIM for EU and non-EU counties for the same trip. They had one package at a great price that worked great in all location. The app was great as I was able to check my data balance, in real time, quickly and easily during my trip. Would definitely use MobiMatters again. Downloading the eSIM was quick and easy too. In addition, when I reached out to Customer Support on a minor account issue, they were very responsive and addressed my issue quickly and effectively.
