Italy: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
ESIMBYCOUNTRY at checkout · See all codes →Italy has four major mobile network operators: TIM, Vodafone, WindTre, and Iliad. All three cellular generations—3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G—are commercially launched across the country. For LTE connectivity, roaming eSIMs typically operate on bands B20 (800 MHz), B3 (1800 MHz), and B7 (2600 MHz). On 5G networks, the primary bands are n78 (3.5 GHz) and n28 (700 MHz).
Local carriers in Italy issue eSIMs, making it straightforward for travelers and users to obtain digital SIM profiles from domestic providers. This support for eSIM technology aligns with Italy's established mobile infrastructure and provides flexible connectivity options across the country's networks.
