Our verdict
Very Mobile suits anyone in Italy who wants a prepaid SIM only plan at a low entry price and a rate that never rises. Prices start at €1.99, the unlimited plan costs €14.99, and the price rule fixes the rate for good.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry pricing of €1.99 for the Very Things plan puts it near the bottom of the price table.
- The price rule states the price is fixed forever and never increased, so the entry rate holds at renewal.
- The Very Giga illimitati plan gives unlimited data for €14.99, below the site median for unlimited pricing.
- Sim only, 5G, Esim, Wifi calling and Hotspot sharing are all available, with coverage of 99.7%.
- Billing is prepaid and rolling with a contract length of 1 month, so there is no long lock-in.
Cons
- It is an MVNO on mvno rather than a network, so support and coverage rest on a host network rather than its own.
- Support runs on phone, help centre and chat only, with no email or community channel listed.
- The unlimited plan is not the cheapest way in: €14.99 is well above the entry price of €1.99.
- It runs in IT only, so the low prices do not apply outside Italy.
Who it suits
- Shoppers in Italy who want a prepaid SIM only plan with no contract
- People who plan to keep the same SIM for a long time and want the rate to stay put
- Travellers inside the EU who want roaming included in the plan
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need service outside Italy, since it runs in IT only
- Shoppers who want a network carrier rather than a reseller, and should look at Lonestar Cell MTN with network
- People who need a physical store relationship, and should compare GETESA with network
Pricing
Entry comes from €1.99 on the Very Things plan, the lowest price in the range. Above it sits a mid tier plan with a large data allowance for everyday streaming, and the top of the range is Very Giga illimitati at €14.99 for unlimited data. Every plan is sold without a contract, and the term is 1 month. Billing is prepaid and rolling, so you top up rather than commit to a long contract. The price rule is the part most often missed: the price is fixed forever and never increased, which separates the entry rate of €1.99 from offers that rise later. A renewal risk that applies to many prepaid deals simply does not apply here.
Where it sits among rivals
On entry price, Very Mobile ranks 32 out of 258 brands, which puts it well down the table rather than at the very bottom. On unlimited pricing the picture is similar: 48 out of 173. The overall score of 9.4 splits into 9.6 for cost and 9.1 for what the plans include, so price is the stronger part. Read together, the two ranks say the same thing: this is a cheap brand that is not the single cheapest, and the unlimited plan costs more relative to the field than the entry plan does.
What it does well
The feature list is complete rather than trimmed. Sim only is available, so you bring your own handset. 5G is supported, Esim is available for a digital profile, Wifi calling is there for weak indoor signal, and Hotspot sharing lets you use the phone as a data source for other devices. Coverage reaches 99.7% of the population. Roaming in the EU is included rather than charged as an add-on. For a prepaid SIM only brand this is close to the full set, and it is the plan structure, not the extras, that carries the value here.

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest Very Mobile plan cost?+
The cheapest plan is Very Things at €1.99, a small data allowance on a prepaid basis. It runs with no contract, so there is no minimum term to serve. The price rule also states the price is fixed and never increased.
How much is the unlimited data plan?+
The Very Giga illimitati plan costs €14.99 for unlimited data. It is the top of the range rather than the entry point, and it too runs without a contract. On the site, unlimited plans rank at 48 out of 173 brands.
Does the price go up when I renew?+
No. The stated price rule is that the price is fixed forever and never increased, so the rate you start on is the rate you keep. The term is 1 month and billing is prepaid and rolling, so there is no renewal event in the usual sense.
What kind of seller is Very Mobile?+
Very Mobile is listed as mvno, which means it sells on a host network rather than owning one. That is the usual structure for a low-cost prepaid brand, and it is why the prices sit well below network-owned offers. Support runs on phone, help centre and chat.
Which countries does the service cover?+
The plans run in Italy, so they are a domestic Italian option rather than something to take travelling. Roaming in the EU is included, which covers trips within the union. Coverage within the home market reaches 99.7% of the population.
Do I get a handset with the SIM?+
No handset is included, because these are SIM only plans and you bring your own device. Sim only is available, and the same plans work with an Esim profile if your handset supports one. 5G is supported on the network.
What extras are included with the plans?+
Hotspot sharing is available, so the phone can serve as a data source for a laptop or tablet. Wifi calling is also there, which helps on weak indoor signal. Both come with the SIM only plans rather than costing extra.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on phone, help centre and chat, so you can call, use the help centre or start a chat. A self-serve help centre is included alongside a live channel. Since it is an mvno, questions about coverage and billing may sit with the host network as well.
