Sicily eSIM

Yes, and that is actually the whole point. The eSIM Sicily plans through eSIM Cards are designed to be purchased from wherever you are right now — at home, in the office, or a week before you fly.

In almost every case, yes. Standard roaming from a UK or US carrier in Italy can rack up quickly — daily fees, per-MB overage charges, or both. A prepaid Sicily eSIM from eSIM Cards is a single flat-rate purchase.

Yes, hotspot is included on all plans. Once your eSIM is active, turn on the mobile hotspot in your phone settings the same way you normally would. There are no extra steps or fees to unlock tethering.

First, ensure eSIM is selected as the active data SIM in phone settings and that you have enabled data roaming for the eSIM profile. If it had been working and just stopped, toggle aeroplane mode off and on.

Most likely. The original QR code you received in your email can usually be scanned again to reinstall the profile. That is to say, some eSIM profiles are single-use QR codes and only work once.

For data, absolutely. Maps, messaging, booking apps, translation — everything that runs on mobile data works normally through the eSIM. If you need to make local calls in Sicily, the Data + Calls + SMS plan option handles that too.

Follow these steps: (1) the eSIM profile is set as the default data line, (2) data roaming is enabled for the eSIM specifically, and (3) the APN settings are correct. If you have confirmed all three and it still is not working, get in touch with support.

Yes — that is one of the main advantages of eSIM technology. Your physical SIM stays in the tray the entire trip. The eSIM runs alongside it, handling mobile data.

Yes, the Sicily eSIM works with the majority of eSIM-enabled phones. You may also refer to the supported device list for eSIM Cards on the purchase page to see if your model is included before buying.

Using two profiles — your physical SIM and the eSIM — does consume a bit more power, but from day to day, it’s not really noticeable.
