Developments: 10. The prepaid eSIM market for travelers continues to expand with new specialized offerings. In early August, British-focused Yesim introduced services connecting to over 800 operators, including Global and ‘Pay & Fly’ options. On August 6, 2026, German reseller mysim24 launched a digital shop targeting German-speaking tourists traveling to destinations such as Turkey or for religious trips like Umrah and Hajj. The company, led by CEO Ömer Salmaz, also implemented a referral program for travel influencers and content creators, offering a 15% commission with a 60-day cookie window. Airalo has expanded its international eSIM services to cover more than 200 destinations. The provider offers local, regional, and global data packages, including unlimited data options for high-bandwidth activities. Airalo utilizes a dedicated app for connectivity management and has introduced a referral system where new customers receive a 3 euro discount and existing users earn 3 euros in ‘Airmoney’ for successful invitations. Further developments include Saily, an eSIM service associated with NordVPN, which provides local, regional, and global prepaid data plans with a 30-day activation window. This follows earlier mid-July developments where Nomad expanded U.S. coverage, and providers like Holafly and Ubigi established a presence in Asia.
