Introduction
Our prepaid Italy SIM Cards have been specifically designed to fit the cellular needs of American and Canadian tourists traveling to Italy who need both data and voice service. The Uno Mobile SIM card for Italy is a joint collaboration between Cellular Abroad and Uno Mobile (a subsidiary of Vodafone, the second largest carrier in the world) and utilizes the Vodafone network. The voice and data rates are extremely affordable, the instructions and voice prompts and customer service are in English and the coverage is extensive throughout Italy, including of course the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. 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 and will be delivered to you prior to your departure to Italy or, if you are already in Italy, we can send it to you via USPS for only $3.
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. When Uno Mobile asked Cellular Abroad to help them create and distribute a SIM card for Italy specifically for English speaking travelers, we happily stopped distributing TIM SIM cards. We have been offering this far superior solution since 2007 and we have helped tens of thousands of travelers save hundreds of thousands of dollars on their cell phone bills.
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 Hotspots are now available to rent 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.
