Are you Mr., Ms., or Mx. International? Never in the same country for longer than a few weeks? Are you lucky enough to have a job that requires travel? Maybe you’re even luckier and have a lover in every port, or just one in a distant port you visit many times a year? Or perhaps you are just prone to booking spontaneous holidays and cruises? In any of these cases, staying connected on your adventures without racking up a big phone bill can seem both a trial and a tribulation!

Luckily, technology has advanced, and eSIMs from companies like Yesim are the solution to the woes of the modern traveler. In a downloadable nutshell, eSIMs are a cloud-based mobile number that allows you to activate and manage multiple providers on a single device, using cheaper local rates of any country you are in.

We look at the five big problems you’ll never have to worry about again, thanks to the wonders of modern technology that is eSIMs.

Paying Ridiculous Phone Bills

Roaming charges are the bane of any traveler’s existence. There’s nothing worse than having your post-trip melancholy amplified by a jaw-dropping bill in your inbox. eSIMs can put a stop to any such unpleasant surprises. Yesim offers unlimited access with a pay-as-you-go scheme for 200+ countries. From Honduras to Hong Kong, you’ll find the cheapest rates out there. You’re free to choose a deal best suited to the time you are traveling, whether that is for 7, 25, or 30 days. What’s more, all their data plans are contract-free, with no roaming fees included, and you can have multiple cards on one device should you be country hopping.

Inconvenient Disconnection

Traveling can be a lonely road, and we lean heavily on our mobiles as a source of information, a safety net, and to keep us connected to our loved ones. Not to mention downloading boarding passes, checking our financial accounts, and—most importantly—keeping up with social media while waiting to board a plane. Yesim has 800+ networks worldwide, meaning that if you happen to lose connection on one, then your device will automatically switch to another. With Yesim, if another mobile operator has 5G, they’ll even switch you right over.

You can even make yourself popular with your fellow travelers by easily sharing your internet with other devices. Or even your own devices, like a laptop, if you’re starved for Wi-Fi while working. All you have to do is install the Yesim profile and turn on a Personal Hotspot for no additional fee. Don’t be worried about going over your daily limit either, as you can track it and your data usage directly through the app.

Easily Lost and Confusing Technology

Travelers have enough physical stuff to lug around as it is without having to faff around with tiny cards in airports. eSIMs are downloaded directly onto your phone, no external influence needed. Simply download the Yesim app, and from there, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3… 4. As there are four simple steps: check your device compatibility, choose your destination and plan, buy the best eSIM for your needs using your preferred payment method, and follow the instructions sent to your email. Once you’re set up, you can start your plan right away or delay it for any trip over the next 12 months. Later, you can extend your plan with ease by topping up directly through the app. Everything is done on the same device with zero complications.

If your life is complicated and you like to keep business and pleasure separate—as in on different phone lines—then that’s an option too by adding an extra line for traveling abroad and separate data plans for personal and business purposes.

Data Insecurity

Yesim provides free VPNs to your favorite services no matter where you are, whether that’s a cabin on the Orient Express or a beach in French Polynesia. eSIMs are embedded directly into your phone, so it’s impossible to remove your data physically, and they utilize secure elements that are hacker-proof. Activation requires scanning a QR code or using a specific activation code, adding yet another layer of security. It is safe to say your data is 100% safe—see what we did there?

Not Getting Your Money’s Worth

To really get the full bang for your buck, Yesim has an innovative internal reward system using “Ycoins.” Referring a friend to Yesim banks you Ycoins (each equivalent to 1 euro) in your Yesim wallet for any of their sign-ups and purchases, which you can use to purchase data plans or for international eSIM activation.

In the unlikely event you do have problems with your eSIM, Yesim has a 24/7 support system in place with an average response time of only six minutes. If you’re still not satisfied, then you have a no-questions-asked 100% money-back guarantee. That’s always a good sign!

With these problems solved by your Yesim eSIM, you can concentrate on the finer points of travel. Like, how to find a lover in every port!
