Does an eSIM work in Vatican City?
Yes. This eSIM runs on Iliad, TIM and TIM maritime. Coverage is complete across the whole city-state, small enough to cross on foot, and right through the surrounding streets of Rome, and it covers Vatican City, a tiny walled city-state set entirely inside Rome. It can thin out only in very remote areas.
How much data do I need in Vatican City?
Most travelers use around 1GB a day in and around the Vatican across maps and messaging. A week is comfortable on 5GB to 10GB, since the whole state sits inside Rome and you will wander well beyond St Peter's Square. Heavy photo uploads lean to a larger bundle or unlimited daily.
Is the Vatican City eSIM unlimited?
Our daily plans give you unlimited data at full speed each day. If you prefer a fixed amount, choose a prepaid plan from the 1GB to 20GB, or unlimited daily range above.
Will the Vatican City eSIM work on my phone?
Yes, on any eSIM-compatible unlocked device, including iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. It installs alongside your normal SIM, so nothing is removed.
When should I install my Vatican City eSIM?
Install it before you fly, ideally the night before. Activation uses no data, so you are online the moment you land in Vatican City.
Can I keep my number and use WhatsApp?
Yes. The Vatican City eSIM adds data only, so your regular SIM keeps your number for calls and texts. Apps like WhatsApp and Telegram work over the eSIM.
What happens when I use up the daily full-speed data?
On unlimited daily plans you are never cut off. After each day's full-speed allowance, data continues unlimited at a reduced speed until the day resets, enough for messages, email and maps anywhere in Vatican City.
Can I hotspot to my laptop or travel partner?
Yes. Tethering works on our plans, so you can share the connection with a laptop or a travel partner in Vatican City. Heavy hotspot use counts toward your daily full-speed data.
Is it too early to buy my Vatican City eSIM?
It is never too early. Validity starts on your first connection in Vatican City, not at purchase. Buy today, install whenever you like, and the plan sits ready until you land.
What if the eSIM does not work on my phone?
You are covered. Check the compatibility notes before buying, and if your eSIM will not connect and we cannot fix it, you get a full refund. Refunds are available any time until the eSIM is installed.
Pick your plan above, and we'll have you connected before you land.
Compatible with iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. Data-only plan. No calls or SMS.
