Welcome!

This website is designed to provide travelers with information about wireless phone services that are available in Italy.

While many SIM cards are available for sale online, you should be careful to select a company which provides SIM card registration assistance. Attempting to register your Italian SIM card once you arrive in Italy can be very challenging and is not recommended.

All of the products listed on this website include complementary SIM registration service and fully comply with the regulatory requirements established by the Italian government.

If you're planning on using your current cell phone in Italy, there are a few technical details which you should understand before purchasing a SIM card for your phone. Telestial, a leading US retailer of international SIM cards, has put together a free "how to" guide which can help you better understand the equipment requirements involved with using your home cell phone while traveling abroad.

Here are some of the basic requirements your phone must meet to work with an Italian SIM card:

• Your phone must be GSM
• Your phone must be SIM Unlocked
• Your phone must fully support of the GSM 900 Mhz and GSM 1800 Mhz frequencies
• Your phone must have the capability to switch between multiple cellular networks

We estimate that less than 2% of the phones sold in the US meet the requirements for use in Italy, so please be careful to ensure your phone is fully compatible prior to your departure. Once you've verified that your phone is compatible, please click here to purchase your Italy SIM card.

If you're unsure whether your phone is fully compatible with the requirements listed above, we recommend that you consider simply renting or purchasing an international cell phone.
