Activate your eSIM before you travel
Buy your HelloRoam plan at home, scan the QR code in your phone settings, and enable data when you arrive in Italy. Your eSIM connects to Italian networks and works in San Marino without any extra steps. Rogers, Bell, or Telus international data charges add up fast on a Europe trip.
Check if your Italy plan also covers San Marino
If you have a HelloRoam plan for Italy, it may also cover San Marino since both use the same Italian mobile networks. Check your plan details before buying a separate San Marino plan. Most Canadians visit San Marino as a day trip from Rimini on the Adriatic coast.
Keep your Canadian number reachable
Dual SIM phones let you keep your Rogers, Bell, or Telus SIM active for calls and texts while using HelloRoam for data in San Marino and Italy. Family back in Canada can still reach you on your regular number throughout your European trip.
Download offline maps before you travel
Download offline maps for San Marino in Google Maps at home in Canada before you depart. The historic centre on Mount Titano is compact, but the winding mountain roads up to the fortresses benefit from offline navigation.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
