[ID: tumblr reply from @/nijuuko reading: "@blackpearlblast I made a purchase a few hours ago and still haven't received a follow up/QR code. You said it usually takes about an hour, but wondering if other people have been waiting a lot longer for the confirmation email? Just want to make sure the esim gets to where it needs to be!"

response from @blackpearlblast reading: "@/nijuukoo if you are on nomad go to manage -> manage plans -> the plan you purchased -> installation instruction and scroll down to install esim via QR code or manual input then select QR code to find the QR code which you can screenshot and email to them. if you are using something else let me know and there should be a way to find it in your account on there too." end ID]

a rundown on the listed e-sim platforms from this tweet from mirna el helbawi. visit esimsforgaza to learn about this effort. (they also have a tutorial on how to purchase an esim and send it to them)

update v3 (12/6/23): they are specifically most in need of nomad, simly, and holafly. if you saw earlier posts about this, they no longer need airalo, please do not donate more airalo. (source) i have added simly to the guide! i have now also added some updates of the discount information to the post.

nomad

you can use the promo code BACKPACKNOMAD for $3 off your first purchase. (source: review article) you can use a referral code to get $3 off your first purchase and also make it so the person whose code this is can buy more esims for gaza. many people have been leaving their referral codes in the replies of this post and supposedly a referral code may eventually reach capacity so just keep trying until you find one that works! i am unsure if these stack. if they don't, i would prioritize using the referral code since it will help someone else buy more esims for connecting gaza. there is also a 10% off deal for any purchase of 10 gb or above that is lasting until the 18th of december. the code is PREXMAS23.

mogo

mogo's website is fucking annoying to navigate and i couldn't find any promo codes, but their prices are massively on sale anyway. you have to pick if you want your esim to be for iphone, ipad, or android for some reason. according to statcounter, android makes up approx. 75% of mobile markets in palestine while iphone represents approx. 25%. so i would probably recommend prioritizing donations of android esims but if you can afford multiple, try buying an iphone one too? if i can find any official direction from the connecting gaza crew on this i will update with it.

my referral code is R36LFK. the way things are worded are confusing but as far as i can tell, if you use it we both get a 10% discount on your first purchase. (i get a voucher that for some reason i have to wait a few days until it becomes valid.) also upon signing up it automatically generates a password for you which you can change by downloading the app. (check your email to find your account's current password)

holafly

holafly is pricier than the others and the only promo code i could find was ESIMNOW for 7% off. someone in the tags mentioned GETESIM7 as another 7% off code they had received, so if you have already used ESIMNOW or can't seem to get it to work, try GETESIM7. referral codes only seem to give 5% off and they don't stack. (i don't remember the source, it was on some sketchy coupon site i don't want to link to and only can recommend because i tried it myself) you can also use my referral link for 5% off if you can afford the 2% worse deal on your end, it will give me $5 credit which i can put towards buying more esims.

simly (note: simly must be downloaded as an app to be used, the website link is to help people confirm they are downloading the right app)

i have not personally used simly so i am going to be going off of the sixth slide of mirna el helbawi's instagram guide, with some corrections from someone who has successfully purchased an esim from simly. after downloading the app and making an account, search for palestine and purchase your preferred package. the page the app takes you to after your purchase should have the QR code to send to the esimsforgaza email, it won't show up in your email receipt. someone kindly left her referral code in the tags of this post, it gives $3 off your first purchase and will give her $3 credit to put towards purchasing more esims for gaza. the code is CIWA2.

(note: mogo and holafly both link to israel esims as there are no general regional packages for the middle east like on nomad and the esims for gaza website specifically linked to the israel package on mogo, so i linked to the equivalent on holafly.)
