Most modern smartphones are eSIM-compatible and will operate perfectly in Milan with an eSIMAdventures plan. Our data-only eSIM provides reliable mobile data for all your internet-based communication needs, such as calls and messages via apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Signal. If you require a local Italian number for traditional calls or SMS, you would typically need a physical SIM. However, for most adventurers, data-based communication is more than sufficient, allowing you to keep your home SIM active for incoming calls and texts.
