Where the France & Italy plan works
France and Italy is the archetypal two-country European itinerary — Paris and Rome on one ticket, or the coastal run from Nice through Ventimiglia into Liguria, or a ski week that crosses under Mont Blanc twice in a day. The border is crossed casually and often, and a single-country eSIM turns each crossing into an admin decision.
The rule for this page: a plan appears only if FR and IT are both on its coverage list. That covers mainland France and Corsica on one side, mainland Italy plus Sicily and Sardinia on the other.
The enclaves are not included by geography. Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City each carry their own country code and appear on a plan only when explicitly listed. A handset standing in the Vatican will usually latch onto an Italian mast and behave as though nothing happened, but that is a property of where the antennas are, not a coverage guarantee — see Monaco and Vatican City for the plans that actually name them, and check the coverage panel for San Marino.
Rail is where the pair plan earns its keep. The Paris–Milan and Nice–Genoa corridors cross networks repeatedly, and a profile carrying both countries hands over without you touching anything. Tunnels still drop the signal; nothing sold on this site changes that.
When something else is the better buy. One country only: France or Italy. A third country, or a schedule loose enough to grow a Swiss or Spanish leg: the Europe plan, which stops looking expensive the moment another border appears.
Every plan below covers both countries — the whole set, on one profile with one allowance, from $5.49. Nothing to install at the border, and nothing left stranded on a second SIM when the trip ends.

How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a France & Italy plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.
Other regional plans
One profile, one allowance, no swapping SIMs at a border.

France & Italy eSIM questions
Which plans appear on this page?
Only ones whose coverage list names both FR and IT. That is the admission rule, so there is no plan here that covers the Riviera and quits at Ventimiglia. Anything else a plan reaches is named in its coverage panel — read that rather than inferring from the plan title.
Does it cover Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily?
Yes. Corsica is French territory under FR and the Italian islands sit under IT, so all three are covered wherever the mainland is. Signal on the interiors of Corsica and Sardinia is thinner than on the coasts, which is a network fact rather than a plan fact.
What about Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican?
Not automatically. All three are separate territories with their own codes, and being enclaved inside France or Italy does not put them on a plan's list. Monaco and Vatican City are their own destinations here; San Marino appears only on the deeper European plans. In practice a phone in Monaco or the Vatican often holds the surrounding country's network, but that is luck, not coverage.
Will it work on the TGV and the Frecciarossa?
Along most of both networks, with dropouts in tunnels — and the Paris–Milan route through the Fréjus and the Ligurian coast line have a lot of them. Onboard Wi-Fi covers the gaps on most high-speed services in both countries.
Is it cheaper than the Europe plan?
Usually, because it is narrower: nobody on a two-country run needs to be paying for Scandinavian and Balkan reach. Once Switzerland, Spain or Germany join the itinerary, the Europe plan stops looking expensive and starts looking sensible.
Does the data allowance carry across the border?
Yes — one profile, one allowance, spent in either country. Nothing splits, nothing resets and there is no per-country sub-limit.
Which route sees the most border crossings?
The Riviera. Nice to Ventimiglia to Genoa puts you across in under an hour, and the mountain crossings — Mont Blanc, Fréjus, the Col de Tende — do the same. Phones near any of them switch networks repeatedly, which on two separate single-country eSIMs means switching profiles by hand.
Is 5G included?
Only on plans badged for it, and only where the local carrier has deployed. Urban 5G is solid in both — Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Milan, Rome — with LTE across everything else, which is most of the territory anyone actually drives through.
Do I need to register with an ID in either country?
No. Both countries demand identity documents for a locally bought prepaid SIM, and the Italian rule in particular is enforced strictly by whoever is behind the counter. Roaming sidesteps the whole procedure: there is no local subscription for anyone to record.
Can I hotspot to a laptop?
On plans that show the Hotspot pill, yes, and the tethered traffic draws on the same allowance. Check the tile before buying if a working laptop is part of the trip.
