What is the best eSIM for North Cyprus?
It depends on how long you are staying and how much data you get through, which is why we do not name a single winner. As of 18 August 2026 we track 11 North Cyprus plans from 1 providers. The cheapest entry price is $0.58 for 500 MB over 1 Days from Yesim. The best value per gigabyte is $0.91/GB, on a 50 GB plan from Yesim. Those two facts point at completely different travellers.
How these plans are compared
Each provider's live catalogue is read and normalised onto the same terms: price, allowance, validity, network tier and, where the provider states it, hotspot and top-up support. Everything with a fixed allowance is converted to a price per gigabyte so a 500 MB plan and a 100 GB plan can be compared on one axis. 7 of the 11 plans here carry a fixed allowance and a real term, so those are the ones the ranking uses.
Why unlimited plans are ranked separately
4 of the plans here are sold as unlimited, and almost all of them carry a fair-use cap in the small print. Dividing a price by an allowance that does not exist produces a number that means nothing, so they sit below the per-GB table with their own cap printed as the provider words it.
Picking by trip length
- A few days. Buy small. Paying for thirty days of validity you will never use is the most common mistake on this page.
- Two weeks. Ten to fifteen gigabytes suits most people, especially if you will hotspot a laptop.
- A month or more. Look for top-up support rather than the biggest allowance. Extending a live plan usually beats buying a second one at full price.
Before you buy
- Dial *#06# and look for an EID. No EID means the phone cannot take an eSIM, whatever the spec sheet says.
- Confirm hotspot is permitted if you plan to share the connection. It is the restriction providers are quietest about.
- 0 of these plans advertise 5G. On a short trip the real-world difference is smaller than the marketing suggests.
- Apply the code before paying. Every code on this page is one we hold with that provider, and the price beside it already includes it.
