Refund policy

4S: Refund eligibility is reviewed case-by-case based on order/eSIM status and reason — no fixed window stated; contact support to request review.

Orbit Mobile: A refund is possible within 30 days of purchase or during plan validity if the eSIM is unactivated, not downloaded, or if the phone is incompatible. A full refund also applies if the plan fails to work due to technical issues. Installed or used eSIMs are non-refundable

Validity starts

4S: Most plans start counting on first use, when the eSIM connects and begins using data (checked on your 4S service page).

Orbit Mobile: The plan starts automatically once you arrive in the destination and connect to a local network, and must be activated within six months of purchase or it expires.

Fair-use limit

4S: Unlimited plans include a high-speed data quota for the full validity period; after it is used, speed drops to up to 1 Mbps until the plan expires.

Orbit Mobile: No fair-use cap

Top-ups & rollover

4S: Self-serve top-up (same destination/region only) adds high-speed data to the current plan and extends its validity by the top-up package's own validity period.

Orbit Mobile: New plans can be added to the same installed eSIM with no reinstall; a plan for the same country or region kicks in automatically once the current one runs out or expires.

Lost device / reinstalling

4S: Each eSIM QR/activation code can only be installed once; a deleted eSIM usually cannot be reinstalled with the same code — contact support for a replacement.

Orbit Mobile: Reinstalling or transferring your eSIM to a new device is completely possible by rescanning your original QR code [orbitmobile.com], provided you delete the profile from your old phone first [orbitmobile.com].

Billing currency

4S: Checkout supports multiple currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY and others via a currency selector); USD is the default.

Orbit Mobile: USD.
