Detailed Review
Ye-sim's terms of service name Genesis Group AG, with Swiss registration number CHE-135.623.633 and an address in Baar, as the contracting party. The site claims more than 4 million users.
The range goes beyond travel data: it also sells virtual phone numbers and has a business side with a corporate eSIM management platform and a reseller API.
Daily rates by country
The home page lists a daily price per country, from EUR 1.40 for Thailand and Cyprus to EUR 1.90 for Germany, France and the UK, and per-GB prices for countries where daily plans are not offered.
Pay & Fly
Pay & Fly is a credit product billed from EUR 0.92 per GB. The site says unused balance can be kept for the next trip, which makes it an alternative to expiring packs.
Business tools
For companies the site lists virtual numbers, a platform for managing corporate eSIMs and a partner API for resellers. The pages reviewed describe these only briefly, so ask for details before committing.
Limitations to Consider
Account termination or 180 days of inactivity can end the services without refund of prepaid items, according to the terms. Rates vary strongly by country, with some destinations priced per GB at high rates. Switzerland is outside the EU. The product range is broad, which can make the choice of plan harder than at Holafly.
