Keep an intercity itinerary in view
If you are travelling between Rome, Florence and Venice, save rail tickets and each accommodation address before a travel day. Mobile data is then available for live changes, messages and finding the final part of the route.
For a longer stay or a trip involving Sicily or Sardinia, consider days away from a reliable Wi-Fi connection and check local network coverage. A country label is not a guarantee of reception in every building, on every ferry or along every road. Download what you will need when a connection is unavailable.

Does an Italy eSIM cover a trip into Switzerland?
The Italy-only plans selected here list IT coverage. A separate destination or regional plan needs to explicitly include Switzerland before you rely on it across the border.
Check the supported-country list for the exact plan in the app. Local signal, your device and the selected network affect the connection; a coverage code is not a promise of service at every location.
Get ready before departure
The selected catalog plans list the first network connection as their billing start. Follow the exact order instructions and avoid connecting to a supported network before you intend to start the plan.
- Check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
- Buy the plan in Stellar eSIM and follow its installation steps over a reliable connection.
- When you are ready to use it, select the travel eSIM for mobile data and follow its roaming instructions.
- Test a small web page and monitor the remaining data during the trip.

VPN access and top-ups
Stellar VPN is included for your eSIM plan’s validity period. Set up the separate VPN app using the access details supplied with your order; the eSIM purchase does not automatically connect the VPN.
Top-up support varies by plan. Check whether a top-up adds data, extends validity or is unavailable before relying on it for a longer stay. Read our plan-selection guide if you are comparing several options.
