## Which San Marino eSIM plan do I need?

Match your plan to how long you stay and how much you use your phone each day.

- **A three-day city break:** 1 GB a day for 3 days suits steady use of maps, messages and social media as you explore the City of San Marino, Borgo Maggiore and Serravalle.
- **A fortnight touring:** 10 GB for 30 days gives room for everyday use across two weeks of exploring.
- **A month-long stay:** 20 GB for 30 days suits steady everyday use, from social media and music to some video.
- **A trip that also takes in a neighbour:** choose the [Europe eSIM covering 35 countries](/esim/europe-35-countries) for a route that goes beyond San Marino.

Every plan can be topped up, so you can add data if your trip grows.

## Will my eSIM have signal in San Marino?

Your eSIM joins Iliad, TIM, TIM maritime and Wind in San Marino, and it can connect on 5G, with 3G also in the mix. Your phone picks a network by itself, so there's nothing to choose or switch. Because San Marino is surrounded by Italy, your phone may connect to Italian networks, especially near the border.

Your data reaches the internet through France, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs, and our [IP address help page](/help/ip-address-another-country) explains why. On daily plans, once you've used the day's allowance, your speed slows to a set, slower level.

## Using your phone in San Marino: data tips

- **Land in Italy first:** San Marino has no airport, so you'll likely touch down in Rimini (RMI) or Bologna (BLQ). Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on after you land, with data roaming on for the eSIM line. The [roaming steps](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) take a minute.
- **Which network:** Around the City of San Marino, Borgo Maggiore and Serravalle, your phone can connect to Iliad, TIM, TIM maritime or Wind. Near the border, it may pick up Italian networks instead, so don't be surprised.
- **Staying in touch:** Message on WhatsApp, and your home number stays on for calls and texts. The [WhatsApp setup guide](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) walks you through it.
- **Data for the day:** A light day of maps and messages is about 0.25 GB; a standard day with social media, music and some video is about 0.7 GB. Every plan can be topped up if you need more.
