Abstract
eSIM is a very new technology. For this reason, many companies organize campaigns to be able to take place in the market and introduce themselves to their users. Prices can sometimes even drop by half. There are even companies that give a small amount of internet for free. Companies mostly organize campaigns based on customer registration called referral programs. The more people you share your referral code with, the more you earn. Thus, the company gains new customers. In this article, we will talk about the campaigns of all popular eSIM companies.
In this article, you will see offers from; Airhub, GIGsky, Airalo, MobiMatter, Jetpac, Global Yo, esim4Travel, Yesim, Nomad, Roamless, Red tea and Go and BNE SIM. Almost all of them are asking you to download their app for better user experience. We include only the trusted and popular ones so that you will not have problems during your visits. Moreover, at the end of article, we included Trust Pilot ratings of these providers.
Before reading: Please read these instructions to choose the most suitable option for you.
To make a clear selection and not get lost in providers; use one of these methods.
- Please go to this link first, and choose a few options for your destination. (In this link, the discount codes that you see are affiliate codes. We will explain something better than that. Referral codes are more useful than affiliate codes but they can be used only once while affiliate codes can be used several times.) After you select a few options turn back to this link and see the provider’s offers if you can buy that plan is cheaper than that website.
- Choose one or two favorable campaigns from here. Go to their websites and see the prices. Calculate the last price after the discount and note it. Then open this website and search for your destination. Compare the prices on the website and in your notes.
Warning: you will see that if you buy an eSIM for single use, the amount that you will save between providers is around 1-2 USD. Not a big money. Spend your time according to this 🙂
But if you will use it as a group or if you will share your referral code to your friends then we recommend you to choose the best referral program for you.

Let's get into the topic.

It is a great opportunity for your first hours in a new country. All you have to do is download the GIGsky app and register. Then you can get your free 100MB eSIM for the country you choose. Moreover, you do not need to enter any credit card information. Each member can benefit from the campaign once. Memberships are defined to the e-mail address. In other words, you can open new accounts with different e-mails and benefit from the campaign more than once. Additionally, The GigSky rewards program gives you 5% credit on every purchase to save in the future.
AirHub (100 MB free)
Trust Pilot Rating: 2.6 (554 reviews)
Airhub also offers the same 100 MB free eSIM for many countries. All you need to do is download their app and register with your e-mail. Each account can use this free eSIM once. You can open multiple accounts to use it more.
Airalo (3$ to you 3$ to your friend )
Trust Pilot Rating: 2.5 (2k reviews)
Airalo is one of the most popular eSIM providers on the internet. In recent months, the total number of users has exceeded 10 million. They introduced themselves to the whole world with a referral code campaign that offered a $3 discount. Yes, you heard right. Every referral code, regardless of who it is from, offers a $3 discount. Considering that the starter packages are $4-5, eSIM costs you $1-2. Let’s explain how the system works.
Airalo assigns a referral code to each member. When you share this code with others, the person you share it with is assigned a $3 discount. When that person makes their first purchase with this code, the system assigns you a $3 credit. Each account can only use the $3 discount once. Accounts are assigned per e-mail. You can benefit from this campaign multiple times with different e-mail addresses. You can use the referral codes you receive from someone else when you sign up or when you directly purchase an eSIM. There is no difference. To purchase an eSIM, all you have to do is download the Airalo application and open an account.
Let me give you a few tips with examples. Let’s say you’re going on a trip alone. When you open 2 accounts, earn a discount on one with the referral code of one, and buy an eSIM, your other account will automatically accumulate 3 dollars of credit. If you do this again with a 3rd account, you will have purchased 2 eSIMs with a 3-dollar discount and your first account will accumulate 6 dollars of credit. With this credit, you can buy a starter package for any country. Thus, the 3rd will be free for every two purchases. In addition, you will have made these 2 purchases with a 3-dollar discount. Of course, you should open new accounts frequently to maintain this 🙂
Let’s give another example. Let’s say you’re going on a trip with your group of friends. The first person in the group opens their account using the code we will give you in a moment. And they share their referral code with the other people in the group. In this way, everyone will buy with a discount and the first person in the group will have a lot of credit in their account. You can use this credit together later.
Of course, if you don’t want to bother opening new emails all the time, you can also use our discount code. You can use this code once per account. If you travel frequently, following our advice above will save you a lot of money.
The code: SIMPAT9123
Mobi Matter(%50 payback)
Trust Pilot Rating: 4.2 (8.9k reviews)
Mobimatter is another popular provider in the market. This Abudhabi-based company is known for offering high-volume internet packages at affordable prices. Their referral program works like this. When a person purchases with your referral code, half of the amount they paid (up to $5) is gifted to both them and you as credit.
-Each account can only benefit from this discount once with a referral code-. However, with your referral code, anyone can make a purchase there is no limit. When the credit in your account exceeds $15, you can start spending.
For example, you shared your referral code with a friend and that friend bought a $12 eSIM. $5 is gifted into his account and $5 is gifted into your account as credit. When these credits exceed $15, both parties can start spending.
To use a referral code, you need to download the app and sign up. Then you will select the plan that you want, After clicking “Buy now” there are reward options. Choose “Referral Bonus” and enter the code you have.
Your referral code can find it in your profile under ‘Rewards’.
If you don’t have any referral code for your first purchase, you can this one: ucuzaucak
Yesim (5€ to you 10€ to your friend)
Trust Pilot Rating: 4.3 (341 reviews)
They have more than 1 million active users. They have a referral program too. Here is how it works:
- Share your referral link or code with friends who haven’t used Yesim yet.
- Your friend gets a 10 EUR discount, which can be used on their first purchase.
- You will receive a 5 EUR bonus each time your referral makes their first purchase
Notes: The referral code can only be redeemed by a new Yesim user and only once.
The purchase amount must be more than 10 EUR for invited users so that they can activate the discount. Which means they cannot buy an 8 EUR eSIM with a 10 EUR discount code. However, the owner of the referral code can use a 5 EUR gift credit on any purchase.
This program is useful if you buy comprehensive eSIM plans that cost more than 10 EURO.
If you dont have a referral code you can use our code for your first time.
