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 explains why. On daily plans, once you've used the day's allowance, your speed slows to a set, slower level.

- 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 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.
