Italy eSIM questions
How much is an eSIM for Italy?
OurByt plans in Italy start at $1.99 for 1 GB valid for 7 days. The most picked plan is 5 GB for 30 days at $5.99. Prices are in US dollars, and the app shows the final price before you pay.
How much data do I need in Italy?
For a week of maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media, 3 to 5 GB is usually plenty. If you will stream video, make lots of video calls or work online, choose 10 GB or more. Running low? Add another plan in the app at any time.
When does a Italy plan start?
When your phone first connects to a network in Italy, not when you buy it. So you can buy before you fly, and the days only start counting once you arrive.
Do I need a new eSIM for Italy?
No. You install the OurByt eSIM once. A Italy plan, and every plan you buy after it, is added to that same eSIM, so there is nothing new to scan next time.
Does the Italy eSIM include a phone number?
No, data plans are data only. WhatsApp, FaceTime and other apps work over the data, your home SIM can stay on for calls and texts, and OurByt calling credit lets you call any phone from the app. You can also add a real US, UK or Canadian number.
Does a Italy plan work in other countries?
No, a Italy plan works in Italy only. Visiting more countries? The Europe eSIM covers 31 countries including Italy, from $1.99.
Will the eSIM work on my phone?
Most iPhones from the XS onward, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy phones support eSIM, as long as the phone is not locked to a carrier. The app checks your phone before you pay.
