Internet without mobile traffic limits, how to do it?

The technological dream of many Italians is to get unlimited Internet connection wherever you go, browsing from your smartphone without having any kind of thought about the data traffic consumed! If until a few years ago this dream was more of a chimera, today it is possible to obtain the Internet without traffic limits on mobile phones and modern smartphones, taking advantage of some new offers dedicated to those who want a flat mobile internet line or taking advantage of one of the technologies mentioned in low in order to be able to surf without limits, effectively reducing the traffic consumption of our data offer to zero.
Some of the proposed methods provide an additional cost, others require the signing of a new tariff plan but, for those who want to save at all costs, there are also completely free methods to be able to navigate without traffic limits from mobile .

Internet without traffic limits on mobile

The methods and offers shown below allow you to surf without traffic limits by using the mobile operator's cellular network or by taking advantage of one of the many free hotspots available around Italy and the world.

Subscribe to a Vodafone Infinito subscription

The operator Vodafone offers its customers a real flat for mobile connection, thanks to the offers called Vodafone Infinito.

Three separate packages are currently available to take advantage of the flat, in which the maximum connection speed, the number of minutes outside the EU and active roaming outside the EU substantially change:

1. Infinite : at a cost of € 26.99 per month we can surf without time and data traffic limits at a maximum speed of 2 Mbps (on any app) and have unlimited minutes and SMS. This package is ideal for those who only use social networks, chats like WhatsApp or Telegram and for those who listen to streaming music.
2. Infinito Gold Edition : at a cost of € 29.99 per month we can surf without time and data traffic limits at the maximum speed of 10 Mbps (on any app) and have unlimited minutes and SMS. This package is ideal for those who view many streaming videos, for those who make many calls and video calls in HD and for those who share many photos on social networks or on Instagram.
3. Infinito Black Edition : at a cost of € 39.99 per month we can surf without time limits, without data traffic limits and without speed limits (on LTE and 5G networks) and have unlimited minutes and SMS. This package is the true complete flat, with which we can 100% exploit the power of the Vodafone network without any speed limitation, as if we were connected to an ADSL or a home fiber optic line.

Obviously, abuse on the network (such as 300 GB in one day) will be monitored by Vodafone and possibly reported: we advise you not to use P2P on this network, to avoid speed drops (even on the Black Edition) or worse the loss of the offer.

Use the operator's Wi-Fi even outside the home

If we have subscribed to a fixed line Internet subscription with Fastweb, Vodafone or Tiscali, we can take advantage of the Wi-Fi hotspots offered by these operators to surf for free, without limits.

With these operators we will be able to benefit from authentic hotspots accessible only to their customers, so as to surf without limits (including speed) and save data traffic on the mobile offer. The coverage is very extensive and constantly growing, to the point of being able to really surf the Internet without traffic limits in many large cities.
To learn more, we recommend you read our guide on the WOW FI Fastweb, Vodafone Wifi and Tiscali networks .

Use other public Wi-Fi hotspots

When we go around big cities, in a public park, in a restaurant or at the airport, we can surf the internet for free by connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots.

Most of the time it will be necessary to register an account using a telephone number and SMS to confirm or browse by asking for the password to access the network operator (for example, a waiter). In some cases, when it comes to public networks managed by the province or the municipality, the internet connection almost certainly provides limitations on the available traffic: we will have to settle for the speed offered (often less than 10 Mbps).
To facilitate us in the search for new hotspots, we invite you to read our guide to the Apps to find free Wifi and free wireless networks on the map .

Activate TIM Cards for an app category

The last method to have a flat connection for some categories of apps involves signing up for one of the TIM Cards.

We will only have to choose which card to activate to have a limitless connection for the apps indicated by the operator, as shown below:

1. Music Card: for € 2.99 per month (to be added to the already active Internet subscription) it allows you to listen to streaming music without consuming traffic from music apps such as Spotify, Deezer, TIMMUSIC, Radio Deejay, Radio 105 and many others.
2. Games Card: for € 3.99 per month (to be added to the already active Internet subscription) it allows you to play online without consuming traffic from the Clash of Clans, Pokémon GO, Candy Crush Saga, FIFA, Fortnite and many more apps.
3. Social & Chat Card: at € 4.99 per month (to be added to the already active Internet subscription) it allows you to message and manage social networks without consuming traffic from the Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp and many more apps.
4. Video Card: at € 9.99 per month (to be added to the already active Internet subscription) it allows you to watch videos and live streams without consuming traffic from the YouTube, TIMVISION, Netflix, SkyGo, NowTV, RayPlay and many more apps.

By activating one of the Cards, we will be able to navigate without limits for the apps indicated, so as to preserve the data traffic already included in our basic TIM offer. Although it is not a true complete flat as seen for Vodafone, we will still be able to benefit from the Internet without limits for the apps that we use the most, in particular if we choose the Card that includes video streaming apps (those that generate the most traffic and tend to "finish" the Giga included).

Conclusions

Even in Italy the concept of semi-flat for the Internet on smartphones is slowly disappearing, giving way to complete flat offers, Wi-Fi included outside the home, new hotspots to connect wherever we are and offers to cancel the consumption of data traffic for some app categories.
