Yesim eSIM Plans for Papua New Guinea
What you get with Yesim in Papua New Guinea
Which Yesim plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–5 days, the cheapest plan at £6.77 will cover Maps, WhatsApp, and casual browsing. If you're spending one to two weeks travelling around Papua New Guinea, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value option on a per-GB basis in Yesim's Papua New Guinea lineup.
If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot for a laptop, lean towards a larger bundle — the 10 GB option is the safer choice.
One thing to note: Yesim Papua New Guinea plans are data-only. You won't get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal. iMessage, WhatsApp, and FaceTime all work over data.

Yesim eSIM for Papua New Guinea 2026 — what you need to know
Yesim is a well-regarded eSIM provider with solid Papua New Guinea coverage. Plans range from short-break options to longer-stay packages, making Yesim a flexible choice whether you're spending a long weekend or travelling for a month.
Papua New Guinea has two main operators: Digicel PNG (the biggest by far) and Vodafone PNG (which acquired bmobile). Digicel has the widest 4G footprint and is the practical default for travellers. Coverage is solid in Port Moresby, Lae, Mount Hagen, Madang and Kokopo. The Kokoda Track is mostly off-grid, with signal at the Owers' Corner end and almost nowhere else along the trail. Highland tribal areas have signal in the main towns but drop fast on the back roads. The Sepik river region is sparsely covered, mostly relying on the few towns. The remote islands of Manus and New Ireland have signal in the main settlements.
Is Yesim good in Papua New Guinea?
In our testing, Yesim connected reliably across major cities and travel routes in Papua New Guinea. Plug is type I (angled three-pin, 240V, same as Australia). Currency is the kina. PNG has serious safety considerations in some areas, this isn't a casual tourist destination, organise everything through reputable operators and listen to local advice.
