Collection: Italy eSIM

Italy sits near the top of many Australian travel wish lists — Rome, Florence, Venice, the Amalfi Coast — and it rewards a connected traveller. You'll want data to navigate the laneways of Trastevere, translate menus in Naples, book timed-entry tickets for the Colosseum and the Uffizi, and check train times between cities. A prepaid Italy eSIM sorts all of it before you leave home — plans start from $5.70 AUD, with no airport SIM kiosk queue in sight.

Why an eSIM for Italy

• No roaming bill shock — prepaid plans mean you know the cost before you board.
• Instant delivery — your eSIM arrives by email as a QR code moments after checkout, even from the departure lounge.
• Keep your Australian number — dual SIM means your usual SIM stays active for calls and banking texts while the eSIM handles data.
• Stay in control — watch live usage in the ESIMStore app (iPhone and Android) and top up anytime, with 4G/5G on partner networks where available.
• Local help — Australian-based support if anything trips you up.

How it works

Buy your plan online and your QR code lands in your inbox straight away. Scan it before you fly — a couple of minutes on home Wi-Fi is all it takes. Your data activates when you touch down in Italy, so you're online before you clear arrivals at Fiumicino or Malpensa. New to eSIMs? See how it works for the full walkthrough.

FAQs

Will my iPhone work with an eSIM in Italy?

Yes — most recent iPhones support eSIM, as do many newer Android phones, provided the handset is unlocked. Check your mobile settings for an option to add an eSIM before you buy.

Can I keep my Australian number while I'm in Italy?

Yes. With dual SIM, the eSIM handles your data in Italy while your Australian SIM stays active for calls and texts — handy for banking codes. Just switch off data roaming on your Australian SIM to avoid surprise charges.

When should I set up my Italy eSIM?

Before you fly. Your QR code arrives by email straight after purchase — scan it at home and the data activates once you land in Italy. Top-ups are available if you use more than planned, and the ESIMStore app shows your live usage.
