Italy networks and coverage

AloOui Italy connects to TIM, Wind Tre and Iliad, with 4G/5G where available. Your phone connects to a supported network automatically, from Milan to Sicily.

Tip: save train tickets and maps offline before Dolomites hikes or ferry trips to Sicily and Sardinia, as signal can dip in tunnels and at sea.

Hotspot and keeping your existing number

Share your data with a laptop or travel partner through hotspot on supported devices. Shared data uses the same allowance.

This is a data-only eSIM: keep your home SIM for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp or FaceTime over data. Tip: turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid charges from your carrier.

Installation and activation

1. Check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
2. Install the emailed QR code over Wi-Fi using Add eSIM in your cellular or SIM settings.
3. When you arrive in Italy, turn on AloOui, select it for mobile data and enable data roaming on that line.
4. Most phones set up automatically. If needed, set the APN to data.esim with username and password blank.

Your plan starts when you connect in Italy, not when you buy or install. Install at home before you fly and you're online as soon as you land.

Quick fixes and support through the Help Center

Check AloOui is turned on and selected for mobile data with roaming on. Toggle airplane mode briefly or restart, and use automatic network selection.

Italy eSIM FAQs

Does it work on my phone?
Yes, if your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. Most recent iPhone, Samsung and Google Pixel models do.

When does validity start?
When you connect in Italy, not when you buy or install, so you can set it up before you fly.

Can I use WhatsApp and FaceTime?
Yes. It's a data-only eSIM, so calls and messages work through apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime. An Italian phone number is not included.

Can I share data with a laptop?
Yes. Hotspot works on supported devices, and sharing uses the same allowance.

How is Premium different from Plus?
Plus gives you 2GB of high-speed data every day. Premium gives you one big pool, 30GB/5 days, 60GB/10 days or 90GB/15 days, to use however you like, then up to 2 Mbps.

Can I use it in France or Switzerland too?
This plan covers Italy. For multi-country trips, choose Europe+ or Europe Extra, or ask Shop with AI.
