Looking for a Yesim alternative? Yesim, from Switzerland, is built around its app, day by day unlimited and virtual numbers for SMS codes. On fixed data the prices are within cents. ETravelSim wins four rounds, Yesim wins one, two are ties.
4 GB a day at full speed, then unlimited at 1 Mbps here. Yesim prices unlimited by the day; 7 days is $22.63 and its fair use threshold is not published.* Yesim wins at 30 days, $50.17 to our $59, listed below.*
Buy from any browser and get the QR by email. Yesim is designed around its app and asks you to create an account first.*
Yesim's virtual numbers receive verification codes; they cannot make or take calls or send texts.* Our Data + calls plans include a real local number with minutes.
From 9,216 verified ETravelSim customer reviews. Yesim: 4.3 on Trustpilot from about 3,000 reviews.*
Yesim, operated by Genesis Group in Switzerland, does a few things differently: unlimited priced by the day from $3.23, a pay as you go wallet charged per GB, and virtual numbers in the USA, UK, Netherlands and Canada for receiving SMS codes.* On fixed USA data its prices are within cents of ours: 1 GB $3.46 to our $3.50, 10 GB $15.61 to our $15, 20 GB $23.41 to our $22.* Price is not why people switch.
They switch because the whole Yesim experience runs through the app and an account, because the virtual numbers cannot make calls, and because refunds are handled case by case rather than by a stated rule.* ETravelSim keeps the web open: buy in a browser with no account, QR by email, the same eSIM topped up from the website or the app. Data + calls plans in the USA, UK and Europe include a real local number with minutes and incoming calls. The refund rule is printed: eSIM never installed, full refund when the fault is ours, minus US$5 otherwise, within 5 days.
Yesim earns its round on long unlimited stays: 30 days of USA unlimited is $50.17 at Yesim against $59 here.* Support is a tie, both on WhatsApp and chat around the clock.
You want to buy without an app or account, a 7 day unlimited plan with a published 4 GB a day allowance, a real local number with calls, or a refund rule you can read before paying.
You want 30 days of unlimited at the lowest price, or a pay as you go wallet across 170+ destinations, and you are happy to manage it in the app.

On fixed USA data the two are level: 1 GB $3.50 vs $3.46, 10 GB $15 vs $15.61, 20 GB $22 vs $23.41.* On unlimited, we are cheaper at 7 days ($21 vs $22.63) and Yesim is cheaper at 30 days ($59 vs $50.17).*
