Yesim 2026: Travel Plans, Prices & Data By Country

Yes, Yesim offers 273 regional plans and 14 global plans, as well as single-country plans. Regional plans cover Asia, Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa.

Global plans work in up to 145 countries and start at $26.76. If you're visiting several countries, one regional or global eSIM is simpler than buying a plan for each.

Yesim plans start at $0.50 for 502 MB valid for 1 day. Right now, the best price per GB is $0.74, on the 30 GB Taiwan plan for 30 days ($22.30).

Prices depend on the country, the amount of data and the number of days. We check prices daily, so these figures are up to date. Sort the table above by price or by price per GB to compare.

Most recent phones work with Yesim, including iPhone XR, XS and newer, iPhone SE (2020 and 2022), and many Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola and Xiaomi models. iPhones with two physical SIM slots sold in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau aren't supported, and you need iOS 14.1 or later.

Your phone must be carrier-unlocked. To check your model, see Yesim's list of compatible devices.

The Yesim app is on iPhone and Android, but you don't need it to install the eSIM.

No, the Yesim eSIM is data only, with no phone number and no regular calls, SMS or MMS.

In the Yesim app, you can add 10 minutes of internet calls to a plan at checkout, depending on the country. Emergency calls don't work with these minutes.

Yesim also sells separate virtual numbers for receiving SMS and verification codes in the UK, US, Netherlands and Canada.

Yesim has plans for 185 countries and territories. To see the plans for your destination, choose it under Filters next to the plans.

Yes, most Yesim plans can be topped up, in the app or in your account on the website. Open your eSIM card and top up, or tap Buy Plan Again. Plans marked "Balance top-up: Not available", such as Japan, can't be topped up.

A top-up is a new plan that replaces the current one. Your remaining data and days aren't added to it.

Yesim alerts you when you've used 70% of your data, and you can turn on auto-renewal.

Mostly yes: hotspot works on most Yesim plans, including unlimited ones, and it's on by default at no extra cost.

The local network operator decides in the end, so it may be restricted in some places. Many plan cards say "Hotspot: Depends on operator". Data your other devices use comes out of the same plan.

Sometimes: Yesim refunds a plan within 30 calendar days of purchase, but only if it hasn't been activated, used or expired. Installing the eSIM already counts as activation.

If the app has a technical error, report it within 1 hour, with screenshots. Approved refunds go back to your payment method, but amounts of €10 or less come back as Ycoins, Yesim's in-app balance.

Email [email protected] or use the in-app form. Reviews take up to 15 business days.

Yes, you can buy a Yesim eSIM in advance and install it before your trip, then switch the line on when you arrive. On most plans, the days start when you connect to a supported network at your destination.

You need to start the plan within 180 days of purchase, or 90 days in China and Japan. Yesim doesn't clearly say what happens after that.

The Unlim Day Pass works differently: if you turn the eSIM on at home and your country is covered, it uses up a day.

Yes, with a catch: Yesim doesn't cap speed itself, but the local partner network may apply its own fair use limit. Yesim doesn't publish the full-speed amounts or the speed after the limit.

If you go over a network's high-speed allowance, you may notice slower speeds until your daily or monthly cycle resets, with no extra charges.

You buy unlimited data by the day, from 1 to 30 days. Fixed-data plans always run at full speed.

Unlimited plans start at $2.79.
