Molise Abruzzo And Molise, Italy Travel Guide
TIM, Vodafone, and WindTre are the main mobile providers in Italy. Purchase a tourist SIM card (e.g., "TIM for Tourists") upon arrival. Find them at phone stores in airports or larger towns like Campobasso, Isernia, or Termoli. You typically need your passport to register the SIM card. These strategies usually offer good data allowances, calls, and texts, usually at a better value than international roaming from your home country. Ensure your mobile phone is unlocked before leaving home.
Wi-Fi is common in hotels, B&Bs, and many restaurants and cafes in Molise's towns. Free public Wi-Fi is rare outside major city centers. Mobile data coverage is generally good in towns and along major roads. It can be spotty or non-existent in remote mountain areas or very small villages. Consider downloading offline maps and content.

Always check specific business hours for restaurants and shops, particularly in smaller towns, as they can vary.
