Pay-as-you-go
Roamless FIX
This comparison uses Roamless's named Italy FIX 10 GB 30-day package (US$18.95, checked 10 September 2026 at roamless.com/it/esim/italia-esim). NXTL estimates use Vodafone's listed Italy rate ($0.7898/GB). Cheapest preference prioritises the lowest-priced available supported network; the network actually used determines your charge. Examples exclude promotions, usage discounts and reward redemptions for both providers. Roamless FIX plans expire after their stated 30-day validity period.
