nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Italy

No, nextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited‑data eSIM for Italy. The plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their names are actually capped at 1 GB or 2 GB of high‑speed data, after which the connection speed is reduced to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps. If a user needs more data, nextSIM offers fixed‑cap plans instead. For example, the 100 GB 30‑day plan for Italy costs $57.31, and the 50 GB 30‑day plan for Italy costs $29.58. These fixed‑cap options provide larger data allowances and remain at full speed for the entire validity period.

nextSIM does not provide eSIM plans that include an Italian phone number or SMS capability. Its Italy offerings are limited to data‑only packages, which give travelers internet access but do not support inbound or outbound voice calls or SMS. Travelers who need messaging and calling can use internet‑based services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection.

nextSIM offers a mix of single‑country and multi‑country data plans that include Italy. Within the database there are 45 single‑coverage (single country) plans and 89 multi‑coverage (multi‑country) plans that cover Italy. The plans are divided into fixed data cap packages—82 in total—and daily data cap packages—52 in total. Prices for Italian plans range from roughly $1.36 up to $1, 281, with data allowances spanning from 1 GB to 100 GB and validity periods from 1 day to 365 days. This gives travellers a broad spectrum of choices: some packages give a set amount of data for a set period, while others restart the cap each day, offering flexibility depending on usage patterns.
