What is the Yesim travel eSIM?
Yesim takes the standard travel eSIM and adds a cashback rewards system: every top-up earns credit back you can spend on future plans. New customers get a free welcome eSIM plus 10% cashback on their first paid plan.
Coverage spans 150+ countries with both data and combined data+calls bundles available — useful if you'd like to keep a local number while abroad. The cashback adds up surprisingly fast for repeat travellers. Speeds and reliability are tied to local partner carriers.

Yesim eSIM — FAQs
Is the Yesim eSIM compatible with my phone?
Yesim works on any eSIM-capable handset, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer. If your phone supports dual SIM with one physical and one eSIM, you can keep your UK number active alongside it.
How much data do I really need on a Yesim plan?
For typical holiday use — maps, messaging, social, the odd video — 1GB lasts most people 3–4 days. Heavy streaming or hotspotting your laptop can burn through that in an evening, so size up if you plan to work or stream on the go.
Can I keep WhatsApp on my UK number while using Yesim?
Yes. WhatsApp, iMessage and calls stay tied to your UK SIM. Only mobile data is routed through the Yesim eSIM, so friends and family reach you the same way as at home.
The verdict
Yesim is a clever pick if travel is a regular part of your life. The free welcome eSIM proves the product, the cashback rewards you for sticking around, and the data+calls option fills a gap most rivals leave open.
