Refund policy

JamboSim: 30-day window from purchase. Full refund for a confirmed technical/supply fault, duplicate charge, or a charge with no eSIM delivered. No refund once the eSIM is installed/activated regardless of usage, for coverage/speed disappointment, cancelled trips, or an unused-but-expired eSIM. Refunds via Stripe to the original payment method, 5-10 business days; 2-day response, 7 days to complete once approved.

LightSim: 14-day refund window from date of purchase; LightSim reviews requests within 24 hours. Available for technical inability to deliver the service, activation failures, device incompatibility, duplicate/incorrect charges, or an accidental purchase that was never activated/used. Not available once the plan has been used, has expired, or its disclosed usage/validity/fair-use limits have been reached.

Validity starts

JamboSim: Plan validity starts on activation, not purchase; the exact window is shown per plan (e.g. 3, 7, 15, 30 days from first connection).

LightSim: Plan validity starts only when you activate the eSIM at your destination, not at the time of purchase.

Fair-use limit

JamboSim: Unlimited plans are fair-use capped at 3GB high-speed data per day, then reduced speed for the rest of that day.

LightSim: Selected plans are a fixed high-speed data allowance per day (shown per plan) rather than a fixed total; hotspot/tethering sharing is unlimited (no separate cap or speed limit) on every plan.

Top-ups & rollover

JamboSim: Top up an existing eSIM from your JamboSim account anytime - the extra data is added to the same profile, no reinstall needed.

LightSim: Top up your existing plan directly in the app in seconds - no need to reinstall the eSIM.
