Italy Verified Traveler Reviews
10/10 for Italy, zero roaming fees
setup took less than a minute from the email qr code, didnt even need an app. Connected automatically to TIM at FCO before we even reached passport control. worked exactly as advertised, zero complaints
Connesso subito a TIM 5G appena atterrati a FCO
Installato il qr code a casa prima del volo in meno di un minuto. Appena toccato terra a FCO si è collegato a TIM in 5G e abbiamo usato maps a Rome. Molto più economica del roaming, la userò ancora.
Setup before flight, connected instantly at FCO
Way faster in Rome than the pocket wifi we rented last year. honestly the smoothest travel data setup ive used in Italy
Guter TIM Empfang in Rome, schnelle Einrichtung
Meine normale Nummer blieb für WhatsApp und Bank-SMS aktiv während die eSIM die Daten übernahm. Auf der Landstraße hinter Milan wechselte es kurz auf 4G LTE, in den Städten aber top.
