Refund policy

abesteSIM: Full/partial refund or replacement if the eSIM fails to install/activate/work due to a fault on abesteSIM's or the carrier's side, or works only intermittently. A 2.5 SGD or 10% (whichever is higher) processing fee applies for device-incompatibility/carrier-lock refunds. No refund for wrong purchases, an expired activation window, expired unused data, wrong checkout email, or once the eSIM has been installed.

AirSims: 100% refund on unactivated eSIMs requested within 180 days of purchase, back to the original payment method; activated eSIMs are refunded only case by case.

Validity starts

abesteSIM: Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a supported network and begins using data; some instead use a fixed start date or activate on installation — stated per plan on its own product page (per their FAQ).

AirSims: Validity starts on the eSIM's first connection at the destination (often on landing or crossing the border), not at purchase.

Fair-use limit

abesteSIM: Some unlimited plans apply a fair-use policy after a high-speed threshold; others state a fixed speed cap (e.g. 5/10/20 Mbps) instead — varies per plan, check the product description (per their FAQ).

AirSims: Unlimited day-pass plans include a daily high-speed allowance (500MB-2GB depending on country) before throttling to 128Kbps-3Mbps; resets at midnight local time.

Top-ups & rollover

abesteSIM: No — abesteSIM does not currently support topping up an installed eSIM; buy a new plan once the existing allowance ends (per their FAQ).

AirSims: Self-serve automated top-ups are available 24/7 via a web portal; manual top-ups are handled during business hours.

Lost device / reinstalling

abesteSIM: A lost/misplaced QR code can be resent by contacting support (email or live chat) before installation, when eligible. Once installed, an eSIM is bonded to that device and can't be transferred or reissued — contact support about a replacement rather than a reissue.

AirSims: AirSims eSIMs can be rescanned/reinstalled on the same device as needed, but the QR code only works on one device -- if you lose the activation email, check spam or contact AirSims support.

Billing currency

abesteSIM: Users in Canada, Europe, the UK, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and the USA can pay in their local currencies; users in other regions are billed in SGD.
