Yesim is one of the many entrants on the ever-growing eSIM market. The company was kind enough to issue a discount code that allows travel-dealz readers to get a €5 credit to spend on eSIM fares. Yesim offers fares and packages for 175 countries around the globe.
Before using the coupon, you need to create an account and add the code to your wallet as a new customer:
Using the code will result in 500 Ycoins credited to your account, which are worth €5. You can use these Ycoins to discount eSIM purchases:
Get €5 for Free When Topping Up
When you top up your account for 1,000 Ycoins (=€10) for the first time, Yesim credits 500 additional Ycoins (=€5) for free.
How Yesim Works
Yesim allows you to scroll through their portfolio and purchase eSIMs once you have been registered.
Upon purchase, Yesim will ask you if your selected eSIM shall be activated upon purchase or later. The option is set to upon purchase by default. We strongly recommend choosing later, as this gives you 365 days to activate the eSIM, preventing any accidental use and loss of data.
In order to use the purchased eSIM you need to download the Yesim app for iOS or Android. The app allows you to install the eSIM directly to your phone.
This is actually a huge advantage of Yesim: You don’t need to switch eSIMs depending on the country you’re visiting. You can just purchase different data packages for your eSIM and load them using the app.
