Introduction

Our prepaid SIM cards for Italy have been specifically designed to fit the cellular needs of American and Canadian tourists traveling to Italy. The Uno Mobile SIM card for Italy is a joint collaboration between Cellular Abroad and Uno Mobile (a subsidiary of Vodafone, the largest carrier in the world) and utilizes the Vodafone network. The rates are affordable, the instructions and voice prompts and customer service are in English and the service is throughout Italy. The Uno Mobile SIM card is ready to be used and does not require you to send a copy of your passport or submit any other registration as you need to do with TIM or the regular Vodafone SIM card. The service is pay as you go so you are in complete control of your budget. You can buy more talk time in over 60,000 locations in Italy or through our 7 days/week hotline. The Vodafone/Uno Mobile SIM card is available to rent or to purchase.

As a note, Cellular Abroad was the US distributor for TIM SIM cards for over 6 years. Although we sold tens of thousands, we were never completely satisfied with TIM. We dropped them when we made the arrangements to collaborate on the Uno Mobile SIM card. We have been offering this far superior solution since 2007 and are thrilled to report that tens of thousands of customers have been happily using this solution.

If your cell phone is not compatible for use in Italy, we also offer affordable cell phone rentals and cell phone purchases for Italy. Most of our customers prefer to purchase our entry level handset as it costs about as little to purchase as to rent. Please feel free to compare!

New for 2012! Italy Data SIM Cards are now available to rent and buy from Cellular Abroad, with 30 days of unlimited data for your next trip, save on expensive hotel and airport WiFi Hotspots with a more secure alternative that travels with you - you can rent a portable unlimited data hotspot or purchase a data SIM card and get the most out of your trip with constant connectivity throughout the entire country.

More Italy SIM Card information:

We have an office in Italy and I am personally there for about 2 months out of the year, so of course I use this solution. I can assure you that this is the least expensive and most convenient way possible to communicate with home! Having 7 days/week customer service and top-up assistance directly through Cellular Abroad is an important added value!

Multi-Country Travel
You can also purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. (This option is good for those planning on doing a lot of local calling.) We also offer an international roaming National Geographic Talk Abroad™ rental that is convenient for travel to multiple countries. (This option is useful for those wanting a single number for use in multiple countries and who will be making more calls back home than locally.)
