ID verification

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.

Esimatic: Refunds within 30 days of purchase, only when the eSIM can't be activated due to a technical problem on Esimatic's side after troubleshooting; an installed eSIM is considered used and non-refundable.

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).

Esimatic: Validity starts when the eSIM auto-connects and uses its first 1KB of data at your destination, not at purchase; unused bundles expire 12 months after 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).

Esimatic: Day Plan: 1GB of fast 5G data every 24 hours then throttled to 1.25 Mbps; Day Plan+: 2GB fast data daily then throttled to 2 Mbps -- both stay unlimited overall, never fully cut off.

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).

Esimatic: Top up by buying the same eSIM bundle again from the Esimatic shop on the existing eSIM; no reinstall needed.

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.

Esimatic: If you lose or damage your device while an Esimatic eSIM plan is active, Esimatic asks you to contact its support team with the details so they can help you get set up again.

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.

Esimatic: In App: USD. On Website user can also pay in their native currency or can choose USD
