Frequently asked questions
Is Yesim the cheapest option for North America?
Not necessarily. Among the providers we compare, the cheapest plan for a typical trip is from Saily, at $17.99. The table compares Yesim's plans with the others.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
Most iPhones from the XS onward, recent Samsung Galaxy phones and Google Pixels from the Pixel 3 onward are compatible. The phone also has to be unlocked. On iPhone: Settings > General > About, look for the "EID" line.
When should I install my eSIM?
Install it before you leave, on Wi-Fi, but turn on the data line when you arrive. Most plans only start at the first connection to the local network.
Do I keep my regular phone number?
Yes. Your main SIM can stay active for calls and texts; the travel eSIM only handles data. Remember to turn off data roaming on your main line.
Can I top up an eSIM in North America?
Most providers let you add data from their app. Terms vary, so check the plan page before you buy.
