Italy data pricing
One rate: $0.90/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance. No daily passes, no expiring bundles, no throttling tiers - unused credit stays on your eSIM forever and works in the next country you visit.
| Top-up | Data in Italy | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | ≈ 5.6 GB | $0.90/GB |
| $10.00 | ≈ 11.1 GB | $0.90/GB |
| $20.00 | ≈ 22.2 GB | $0.90/GB |
| $50.00 | ≈ 55.6 GB | $0.90/GB |
A one-time $5 setup fee applies to a brand-new eSIM; top-ups to an existing eSIM carry no fee. Rates are pay-as-you-go, so light days cost cents and heavy days just draw down the balance faster.
Networks and speeds in Italy
Anon eSIM connects through roaming agreements with TIM and Vodafone, with 4G / 5G typically available to roamers. Your phone picks the strongest partner signal automatically and re-selects as you move - there is nothing to configure.
Solid across the mainland, Sicily and Sardinia. Historic town centers with thick stone walls can weaken indoor signal.
The APN is provisioned automatically with the eSIM profile. You do not need to enter APN settings manually on iOS or Android - the only switch you must flip is Data Roaming: ON for the Anon eSIM line, because the service is technically a roaming profile everywhere it operates.

In-country context: Italy
Local prepaid SIM registration: mandatory. Italy has required passport registration for prepaid SIMs since anti-terror legislation in 2005. This is exactly the paper trail Anon eSIM avoids - your identity never touches the local carrier, because you attach as a roamer on a foreign anonymous profile.
On arrival: FCO (Rome) and MXP (Milan) have TIM kiosks but the paperwork is not fast. Pre-installed eSIM attaches to TIM or Vodafone during the train ride into the city.
Typical speeds: 30-120 Mbps on 4G; 150-400 Mbps on 5G in Rome, Milan, Naples. Prices from the live rates data: $0.90/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance.
Registration status
Passport required for local SIMs
Anon eSIM sidesteps this entirely - the eSIM is issued from an ID-free jurisdiction and you use it as a visitor's roaming SIM in Italy. No local paperwork.
