How We Verify eSIM Promo Codes


      
        Our verification system
        How eSIM Discounts checks offers
        We combine structured offer records, editorial checks, moderated shopper feedback and daily plan price data so you can see what is active, what needs another look and what you would actually pay.

          The short version
          We separate an offer claim from the price you actually pay.
          A 30% headline is only useful if the code is active, you are eligible and the discounted plan is genuinely competitive. ESD records those parts separately and brings them back together on the page.

        How an offer moves through ESD
Verification is an ongoing editorial workflow, not a permanent promise that a code can never change.

        What the labels mean
The badge tells you how ESD currently treats the offer. It is not a guarantee from the provider.
        
          Verified by ESD teamReviewed through the ESD workflow and currently eligible to appear in active results. The date shown is the latest review recorded for that offer or brand.
          Needs reviewApproved community feedback has fallen below 80% positive, so the offer is held back from best-code selection until it is reviewed.
          ExpiredThe end date passed, the offer was withdrawn or ESD retired it. It cannot enter active counts or rankings and has no working checkout button.
        
      

      
        
          
            Community feedback has an editor in the loop
            “Works” and “didn’t work” reports first enter a moderation queue. They do not alter the public result until ESD approves them.
            Pending feedback cannot quietly change a public score.
Below 80% positive moves the offer to Needs review.
An ESD editor decides whether approved feedback changes the offer status.
          
          
            Price intelligence is tracked separately
            Plan prices and discount claims are different datasets. We calculate final prices only when the discount can be applied to a real plan value.
            Plan price and offer history are saved daily.
Price movement needs at least 7 daily records.
Typical and best discount claims need at least 14 daily records.
          
        
      

      
        How rankings and commercial links work
        
          Organic results
Comparison results are ordered using the final calculated price. Brand pages prioritise active, broadly usable and verified offers before restricted alternatives. When two offers provide the same saving and have comparable eligibility, we may prioritise an affiliate offer based on our commercial relationship. This does not reduce the discount available to the user.
          Affiliate and sponsored links
ESD may earn a commission when you buy through some links, at no extra cost to you. Paid placements are labelled Sponsored and kept outside the organic rank.
        
        Before paying: confirm that the discount appears in the provider’s checkout total. Providers can change availability, eligibility or pricing between recorded checks.
