What is Yesim?
Yesim is an eSIM (embedded SIM) solution that keeps travelers connected globally without inserting physical SIM cards. Unlike traditional SIMs, the eSIM is programmable digitally and resides in your phone’s chip, offering the same service quality but with far greater flexibility.nnThe platform offers four types of plans suited to different travel needs. Local plans cover a single country and suit travelers staying in one destination. Regional plans provide multi-country coverage (e.g., all of Europe or Southeast Asia), ideal for one to two-week trips. Global plans cover 82 destinations with a single eSIM, perfect for backpackers. Finally, the ‘Pay & Fly’ mode works in 170+ countries and lets you pay only for consumed data.nnYesim operates by partnering directly with 800+ mobile operators worldwide, eliminating intermediaries and offering better rates. Activation is near-instant: download the app, select your destination, activate the eSIM in one click, and you’re connected upon arrival.

Se non funziona

My phone can't find an eSIM to install
Verify your device supports eSIM via settings (Settings > About Phone > eSIM Features). Also ensure your phone isn't carrier-locked. If the problem persists, contact Yesim support via chat (6 min average response). -
I have no signal after activation
Enable Airplane Mode for 10 seconds, then disable it. Verify that the Yesim eSIM is selected for mobile data. If you have two SIMs, ensure Yesim is set as the data line. Contact support if the issue persists – they can switch to another partner operator. -

Our Experience with Yesim
After weeks of intensive testing in several countries, Yesim proved to be a reliable and efficient travel ally. The app is intuitive, coverage is exceptional, and customer support redefines industry standards.
Purchase and Installation Process
The experience begins well before activation. The app perfectly guides new users. We tested from France and everything was instant: less than 2 minutes from app download to ready-to-use eSIM. No complex documentation, no manual QR code scanning – just direct one-click installation.
Connection Quality and Speed
In major cities (Paris, Bangkok, New York, Toronto), we measured 4G/5G speeds equivalent to local operators. SwitchLess technology automatically switched to the best available networks. In rural areas, coverage was adequate but variable by country – excellent in Europe, satisfactory in Asia, improvable in Africa.
Customer Service and Support
We contacted support 3 times to test responsiveness. Response times: 5, 7, and 8 minutes respectively. All agents spoke fluent English and understood technical issues well. They resolved our two technical problems (an accidentally expired plan, a compatibility question) with expertise and goodwill. The in-app chat is travelers' preferred tool when caught without stable connections.
Value for Money
Compared to our home carriers' roaming rates (€80/GB roaming vs €1.50/GB with Yesim in Europe), the savings are massive. The loyalty program (5% cashback) and ability to pay as you go (Pay & Fly) add flexibility that few competitors offer at this price point.
Identified Weaknesses
Asian regional plans are among the most expensive on the market. We also noted some chat wait times during peak hours (holiday periods especially). Refunds are limited to 30 days after purchase, which is standard but may be restrictive for extended trips.
Alternatives to Yesim
Airalo
More regional plans but less intuitive interface and less reactive support compared to Yesim.
Nomad
Very clean app design and slightly lower rates than Yesim, but less comprehensive coverage and no built-in VPN.
Holafly
Specialist in unlimited plans with excellent long-term discounts, but less flexible for mid-trip destination changes.
