Yemen eSIM

Scan the QR code from your email or your Roamix account in your phone's settings, ideally at home on Wi-Fi before you fly. When you land in Yemen, turn on data roaming for the Roamix line and you're online.

Yes. Your usual SIM stays in your phone, so calls, texts and WhatsApp keep your number. Roamix runs alongside it as a second line just for data in Yemen.

Install it a day or two before you fly, at home on Wi-Fi. Most plans don't start counting days until you connect in Yemen, so installing early costs you nothing and you step off the plane already online.

Most phones from 2018 on support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer. Your phone also needs to be carrier unlocked. Our free compatibility checker confirms both in seconds.

You get 4G LTE across our coverage in Yemen, and 5G where the local network offers it. Real speeds depend on where you are, how busy the network is, and your phone.

Your data simply pauses, with no surprise overage charges. We send alerts when you've used 50% and 80%, and you can top up in a tap from your Roamix account without reinstalling anything.

Yes, if it isn't installed yet. You can get a full refund within 14 days of buying by emailing support@roamix.app with your order number. Once the eSIM is installed, the plan counts as used and can't be refunded.

Roamix Yemen eSIM plans start at $31.90. Bigger plans cost less per GB, so they're the better deal for longer trips or heavy data use. Compare every Yemen plan at the top of this page.

No. If your phone supports eSIM, which most phones since 2018 do, you can get data in Yemen without a physical SIM. Download it before you travel and skip the store and the airport queue. Your home SIM stays active for calls and texts.

Roamix eSIM coverage in Yemen is very limited because ongoing conflict since 2014 has severely damaged the country's telecommunications infrastructure. Reliable international eSIM connectivity cannot be guaranteed in most of the country.

The Old City of Sana'a, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies in an area where network reliability has been significantly affected by the ongoing conflict, so consistent mobile data access cannot be assured. Travelers should not expect the seamless connectivity typical of stable Roamix destinations.

International flight access to Yemen is itself extremely limited due to the conflict, with Sana'a International Airport (SAH) operating under significant restrictions, so automatic eSIM activation on arrival cannot be relied upon. Current travel advisories should be checked before planning any trip.

Given severely disrupted network infrastructure across Yemen, travelers should not plan around typical data estimates like 5-7 GB, since actual connectivity will depend heavily on location and current conditions. Essential-only usage is the realistic expectation in most areas.

Coverage outside Sana'a is highly inconsistent, and many regions of Yemen have little to no functioning mobile network due to years of conflict-related infrastructure damage. Roamix cannot guarantee connectivity in these areas.

No, Yemen is not currently a typical eSIM travel destination; most governments advise against travel there due to the ongoing conflict, and telecommunications infrastructure has been extensively damaged. Travelers should rely on official government travel advisories rather than expecting standard international eSIM or roaming coverage.
