Understanding Your Yoho Mobile eSIM After a Plan Expires
First, let’s clear up a common misconception. Your eSIM itself doesn’t expire. Think of the eSIM as a digital, rewritable SIM card that lives permanently inside your phone. It’s the data plan you purchased that has an expiration date or a data limit.
Once your plan’s data is used up or its validity period ends, the connection stops, but the eSIM profile remains on your device, ready for its next assignment. This is a huge advantage over traditional SIM cards, where an expired card is just a piece of plastic. The GSMA, which sets the standard for eSIMs, designed this technology for flexibility and sustainability.
This means you don’t need to go through the installation process again. You simply need to ‘load’ a new data plan onto your existing eSIM. It’s a seamless way to manage your travel data without collecting a drawer full of tiny plastic cards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do I have to top up an expired eSIM?
Your eSIM profile on your phone doesn’t expire, so you can typically add a new plan to it at any time, whether it’s been a day or several months since your last plan ended. Simply log into your account to see your eSIM and add a new package.
Do I need to install the eSIM again after I buy a new plan?
No, you do not. This is one of the biggest benefits of eSIM technology. Once you purchase a new plan for an existing eSIM, it activates automatically on the profile already installed on your device. No need to scan another QR code or go through setup again.
Can I switch to a different type of data plan when I top up?
Absolutely! When you top up, you can choose any plan that suits your upcoming travel needs. If your last plan was for France, but your next trip is to North America, you can easily purchase a USA & Canada eSIM plan. You have complete flexibility every time you recharge.
What should I do if my top-up doesn’t seem to work?
If your new plan doesn’t connect within a few minutes, try toggling Airplane Mode on and off. You can also restart your device. If the issue persists, our customer support team is available 24/7. Please visit our support page for assistance.
