The short answer
The trip is Italy first and France second, Milan or Genoa to Nice or Paris by train over the border, and I priced the Europe plans that cover both on 25 October 2026. I would buy Ringo Light: $22.99 for 2 weeks or $35.99 for 30 days of unlimited data at full speed, one install for both countries. Airalo is cheapest for 3 days at $11.50, Ubigi for a 10 GB bucket at $15.
Unlimited data at full speed in both countries for 2 weeks at $22.99 or 30 days at $35.99, nothing renews. Airalo Eurolink asks $49 for 15 days and $71 for the month.
10 GB for 30 days at $15, good for the whole route from Rome to Paris. Its 15 days is 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps, for $35.
Eurolink covers 41 countries, with Italy and France in the middle of them. 3 days of unlimited at $11.50, 5 GB a day at full speed.
Days, not gigabytes, so you pay by trip length. No daily cap stated for your own phone; sharing limited to 1 GB a day. $27.50 for a week.
Prices read on 25 October 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

That is the full Ringo service: one plan that works everywhere, with your own number included.
It is a separate product from Ringo Light and it is still being built, so it is not on sale yet. Join the waitlist to hear when it opens.
What to do in Italy and France, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places that often fill a trip from Rome and the Amalfi coast to Paris and Provence, with the one thing your data does for you at each. One regional eSIM follows you over the border between them.
One plan for both countries: Ringo Light
Italy and France are neighbours, and most trips between them go by night train, by the Riviera coast line or over the Alps. A regional eSIM means nothing changes on the way: you install it once at home and the phone finds a local network in each country. With two country eSIMs you would need to remember to switch your data line in Ventimiglia or Chambery, and to buy both before you leave.
The regional plan also costs less. Ringo Light's Europe trips are $22.99 for 2 weeks and $35.99 for 30 days, unlimited data at full speed. On Airalo Eurolink the same lengths are $49 for 15 days and $71, on Saily $49.99 and $71.99, on Holafly $51.50 and $76.50. Ubigi asks $35 for 30 GB over 15 days, then 2 Mbps.
The sum I worked out from the country pages: Italy's 2 weeks is $14.99 and France's $14.99 on their own, $29.98 together, against $22.99 for the Europe trip that covers both. A month is $26.99 and $26.99, $53.98 together, against $35.99. I would only buy the country plans for a trip that stays in one of the two.
Which plans cover both countries
Italy and France are both founding EU countries, so both sit in the base of every Europe plan in the table. From the Europe page I priced: Ringo Light covers 33 countries, the EU countries plus the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Gibraltar, so both are in. Airalo Eurolink covers 41, both in. Holafly lists 33, Saily 35, Nomad 35 on its unlimited plans and Ubigi 38.
I could not confirm a country by country list for Holafly, Saily, Nomad or Ubigi on the day, so I would look for Italy and France by name at checkout. If you plan a day in Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, I did not confirm those on any plan here either.
If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad
- Ubigi, $15 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days across 38 countries. 25 GB is $29, and a 20 GB monthly plan at $19 that renews until you cancel it.
- Nomad, $23 for 10 GB. And 20 GB for 30 days at $27, the cheapest one-off 20 GB here.
- Airalo, $31 for 10 GB. Eurolink 20 GB for 30 days is $48, and Eurolink covers the most countries.
- Saily, $35.99 for 10 GB. From saily.com, 25 October 2026.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. For Italy and France on light use, Ubigi's 10 GB at $15 sits $7.99 under Ringo Light's 2 weeks, and Nomad's 20 GB at $27 sits $8.99 under its 30 days. Ringo Light is the plan to buy for unlimited, not for a bucket, and I would rather you read that here than at checkout.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For Italy and France it sells the Europe trip across 33 countries, unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $22.99 and 30 days at $35.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email and installs in one scan, no app, and it picks a local network in each country on its own.
The card to buy it is further up this page, after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $22.99. It costs less than any rival's 7 days, and the France days are covered.
Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $22.99, against $29.98 for the two country plans.
Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $35.99. If you want a fixed amount instead, Ubigi at $62 for 60 GB at full speed.
Airalo Eurolink unlimited, 3 days, $11.50. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.
Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $15.
None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.

Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.
