Best Mobile Phone Plans in September 2026: Very Mobile, TIM, ho.Mobile, Lyca Mobile, WindTre and Vodafone Compared

Finding the best mobile phone plan in Italy is never easy, with new promotions launching almost every week and many of them reserved for customers switching from a specific carrier. This guide rounds up every plan that is currently active in September 2026 from Very Mobile, TIM, ho.Mobile, Lyca Mobile, WindTre and Vodafone, including data allowances, activation terms and a direct link to sign up for each one.

This list is updated for September 2026 and reviewed regularly. A plan is treated as active unless it has a stated end date that has already passed; where a plan does have an expiry date, it is noted alongside the offer.

How to choose the right plan for you

Before activating a new SIM, it's worth checking how much data you actually use each month, whether the plan requires porting from a specific carrier (as with many TIM, ho.Mobile, Lyca Mobile and WindTre plans), any hidden activation fees, and the host network's coverage in your area.

Plans with stricter porting requirements tend to have the lowest prices, while plans open to everyone or standard catalogue plans like Vodafone's are usually more expensive but simpler to activate.

In summary

As of September 2026, Italy's mobile market remains highly competitive, with plans starting at €5.99/month for 150-200GB. Very Mobile, ho.Mobile and Lyca Mobile remain among the cheapest options for customers without strict requirements, TIM and WindTre mainly reward those switching carriers, and Vodafone remains a solid choice for anyone wanting its own network. Several plans, especially WindTre's and ho.Mobile's €5.95 offer, expire by the end of September, so always check the validity dates before activating.
