SIM & Cell Phone Packages for Italy

Italy SIM Information

We offer several cell phone packages bundled with an Italian SIM card for travelers to Italy who need an affordable approach to stay in touch locally within Italy or to call internationally. All incoming calls are always free and the outgoing rates are fractions of what you would expect to pay with other solutions, including the large telecom providers such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. All of our phones are unlocked GSM and will work with other SIM cards and in other countries.

Why buy a SIM and Phone package for Italy?

If you are planning to stay in Italy for a month or more or are a frequent overseas traveler, it is more cost effective to purchase an Italian cell phone package as opposed to renting a phone. All phones are unlocked and, with the proper SIM card, work in over 200 countries.

The service, called "Uno Mobile" is on the Vodafone network (the second largest cell phone carrier in the world). They have configured the service specifically for the needs of Cellular Abroad’s customers with features such as rates to the US and Canada at only 0.35 Euro cents per minute and an English menu. Rates to any Italian cell phone number are a flat 0.18 Euro cents per minute.

As this is a pay as you go service, there are no contracts to sign or monthly bills. The only requirement is that you add at least one recharge voucher (additional talk time) once a year to retain your Italian cell phone service and number.

While the service does work outside of Italy, please note that you will be roaming and rates are higher (approximately $0.35 to receive and $0.70 to call in Western Europe).

Unlike other telecom providers, your Uno Mobile SIM card has been pre-registered and is active and ready to go. We do not require a scan of your passport.

Data packages

If you also need data, Cellular Abroad recommends their Unlimited 3G Data hotspots.

 

Package Advantages:

  • A new, full-featured, unlocked GSM cell phone with variable-voltage charger and wall plugs for different countries. This phone works in over 200 countries worldwide!
  • A Prepaid SIM Card for Italy and cell phone number with excellent service and initial credit so you can start making calls upon activation.
  • Great talk rates to minimize on your travel costs!
  • No yearly contract, monthly charges or credit check

Italy €10 Prepaid Recharge
only $26.00 for €10 of talk time credit

Save time by starting your stay in the Italy with an additional €10 of talk time. Each one of these recharges gives you about 112 minutes outgoing within Italy or 28 minutes outgoing calls to the US.

For detailed talk rates and other important info on the SIM card provided for in this package, please see our Prepaid SIM Card Page for Italy.

We offer country-specific SIM cards for over 50 nations around the globe! Here's a suggestion: When you go abroad, you don't have to carry your US phone with you. Instead, you can make calls from the airport with your GSM phone and a US SIM and then swap the chip with your Italy SIM for when you arrive at your overseas destination.
