Refund policy

Airalo: Self-service refund request from your account (My eSIMs > Package History > Request Refund) for wrong purchase, changed plans, installation issues, or a non-working eSIM — expired or fully-used eSIMs aren't eligible. Wrong-purchase/changed-plans refunds go to Airmoney (their in-app credit) only; installation-issue/not-working refunds can go to Airmoney or your original payment method, taking 7-10 business days (up to 30 depending on your bank).

The SIM Shop: Unused, uninstalled and unactivated plans can be refunded within 30 days of purchase from My Account > Refunds, to the original payment method. Installed, activated or used eSIMs are reviewed case by case. Australian Consumer Law rights apply on top.

Validity starts

Airalo: Validity starts either when the eSIM connects to the destination network or at the moment of installation, depending on the specific plan — check 'Additional Information > Activation Policy' on the plan page before buying to see which applies.

The SIM Shop: Validity starts on first network connection on almost every plan; Japan KDDI plans start on first data use in Japan, with a supplier start-by deadline.

Fair-use limit

Airalo: Unlimited plans default to a 3GB-per-day full-speed allowance before throttling to 1 Mbps for the rest of that 24-hour period (counted from activation, not purchase); a different daily threshold is stated on the specific plan's page when it applies instead of the 3GB default.

The SIM Shop: Daily high-speed plans slow down after the daily allowance (typically to 384 kbps) until the next reset; the allowance, reduced speed and hotspot limits are stated per plan.

Top-ups & rollover

Airalo: Only plans marked 'rechargeable' (checkable under Additional Information before buying) can be topped up, via the My eSIMs > Top Up option in the app — a non-rechargeable eSIM or one that changed carriers requires buying a new eSIM instead.
