Should I just buy a local SIM at Fiumicino or Ciampino airport instead?

Buying a local SIM at Rome's Fiumicino (FCO) or Ciampino (CIA) airport is possible — TIM, Vodafone, WindTre, and Iliad have kiosks in arrivals — but tourist SIMs typically require passport registration and a 15 to 30-minute queue, plus you'll need to swap your physical SIM. Airport SIMs also tend to be priced higher than the same operators' city-store offerings. The ETravelSim Vatican City eSIM installs at home before you fly, requires no passport handover, and connects the moment your plane lands. If anything goes wrong, contact support 24/7 via WhatsApp at +65 9236 1258, the on-site chat, or support@etravelsim.com with your order number.

FAQs

Will my eSIM work worldwide?

eTravelSIM works across multiple networks in each covered country. However, your phone must be factory‑unlocked and eSIM‑capable. Coverage and 5G/4G availability vary by network.

Dual SIM: can I keep my home number active?

Yes—most modern devices support Dual SIM (eSIM + physical SIM). You can keep calls/SMS on your home SIM and use eTravelSIM for data while abroad. Configure default lines in Settings.

I can’t see eSIM options in Settings

Update to the latest OS, restart, and check again. If still missing, your device/region/carrier may have eSIM disabled. Please contact your carrier or device maker.
