Refund policy

GigSky: SIMs and top-ups can't be returned once sold and unused data isn't refunded; a minimally used subscription plan (under 1GB) affected by a connectivity issue may be refunded at GigSky's discretion.

MicroEsim: Conditional refund: full/partial if your device is eSIM-incompatible, the eSIM never connects (full minus a small admin fee), or it works only intermittently (partial, prorated). No refund once the plan has expired unused, once installed on a device (no transfers), for a wrong checkout email, or a simple change of mind. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method, up to 30 business days.

Validity starts

GigSky: Plans are turned on by the customer when ready to travel, not automatically at purchase, per GigSky's setup flow ('Activate When You Travel, Top Up Anytime').

MicroEsim: Validity starts when you activate data roaming on the eSIM (connect to the network), not when you first install/add it to the device.

Fair-use limit

GigSky: On Unlimited plans, GigSky may reduce speed during a single day of very heavy use (e.g. video streaming); normal speed resumes the next day. No specific data threshold or throttled speed is disclosed.

MicroEsim: Unlimited plans: 'true unlimited' plans may be throttled for the rest of the day once usage typically exceeds 10GB in a single day (resets daily); plans with a high-speed cap drop to 128kbps once that allowance is used.

Top-ups & rollover

GigSky: Eligible plans can be topped up anytime in the GigSky app (My Plans > Top Up), with the data added to the existing plan; not every plan supports top-ups and complimentary Visa plans can't be topped up.

MicroEsim: No — an existing eSIM's data allowance can't be renewed or topped up; buy a new eSIM for more data (per their FAQ).
