Why You Might Need a New Data Plan
There are two common scenarios where you’ll need to add a new plan to your eSIM:
- Data Depletion: You’ve simply used up all the data in your current plan. This is common if you’ve been streaming videos, using your phone as a hotspot, or navigating heavily with apps like Google Maps, which can use more data than you think according to various tech reports.
- Plan Expiration: Your plan has reached the end of its validity period (e.g., your “Europe 5GB 7 Days” plan has expired after a week). Even if you have data left, the plan becomes inactive once the time is up.
In either case, your Yoho Mobile eSIM profile remains on your phone. You don’t need to install a new eSIM; you just need to add a new plan to your existing Yoho Mobile eSIM.
How to Add a New Plan to Your Yoho eSIM: A Step-by-Step Guide
Topping up your data is designed to be as seamless as possible. You don’t need to find a physical store or deal with a new QR code. Just follow these steps.
Step 1: Open the Yoho Mobile App or Website
The easiest way to manage your eSIM is through the official Yoho Mobile app on your smartphone or by logging into your account on our website. Ensure you have some form of internet connection to do this—either a Wi-Fi network, which travel experts at Nomadic Matt always recommend finding, or the basic connectivity provided by Yoho Care.
Step 2: Navigate to ‘My eSIMs’
Once logged in, find the section that lists your active or expired eSIMs. It’s typically labeled “My eSIMs” or a similar term. Tap on the specific eSIM you want to add data to.
Step 3: Select ‘Add Plan’ / ‘Top-Up’
Inside the management screen for your chosen eSIM, you will see an option to “Add Plan,” “Top-Up,” or “Buy a New Plan.” This will take you to our store, where you can choose your next package.
Step 4: Choose Your New Flexible Plan
This is where Yoho Mobile’s flexibility shines. You can choose a plan that perfectly fits the next leg of your journey. Whether you need a massive data package for a week-long work trip in the United States or just a small 1GB plan to get you through your last two days in Japan, you’ll find an option that works for you. Select the plan and proceed to checkout.
Step 5: Complete Your Purchase
Finalize the payment using your preferred method. As soon as the transaction is complete, your new plan will be instantly activated on your eSIM. Your phone will reconnect to the local network, and you’ll be back online. It’s that simple! This instant activation is a core benefit of modern eSIM technology as outlined by the GSMA.
