Yesim eSIM Plans for Philippines
What you get with Yesim in Philippines
Which Yesim plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–5 days, the cheapest plan at £0.32 will cover Maps, WhatsApp, and casual browsing. If you're spending one to two weeks travelling around Philippines, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value option on a per-GB basis in Yesim's Philippines 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 30 GB option is the safer choice. The unlimited plans are priced at a premium but make sense for heavy users who don't want to track usage.
One thing to note: Yesim Philippines 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 Philippines 2026 — what you need to know
Yesim is a well-regarded eSIM provider with solid Philippines 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.
The Philippines has three operators: Globe Telecom, Smart Communications (PLDT) and DITO Telecommunity (the third entrant launched in 2021). Globe and Smart have the widest 5G footprints across Manila, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo and the main Luzon corridor. DITO has been growing fast and now claims over 90% population coverage with its own network. The famous islands are variable, Boracay, Palawan (El Nido and Coron), Siargao and Bohol all have signal in the main resort areas but drop fast once you're island-hopping or hiking. The deeper bits of Mindanao and the Cordilleras are weak. Typhoons can knock networks out for days, worth knowing in season.
Is Yesim good in Philippines?
In our testing, Yesim connected reliably across major cities and travel routes in Philippines. Plug is type A/B/C (220V, watch out, US-style plugs but European voltage). Grab is the main ride app and GCash is the dominant local mobile wallet, you can pay for almost anything with it.
