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.

eSimHero: Full refund only while the eSIM is untouched (not installed, activated or used); requested from "My eSIMs" and processed immediately back to PayPal or the wallet. No partial refunds once activated.

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).

eSimHero: The validity period starts at activation, i.e. when the eSIM first connects to a supported network in the coverage area; no manual activation step is needed.

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).

eSimHero: Unlimited plans have a stated daily high-speed cap (e.g. 2GB/day), after which speed drops to 1 Mbps or 512 kbps until the next day; regular plans have no cap beyond operator-side traffic management.

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).

eSimHero: Top-ups can be added to the existing eSIM where the destination supports it; some destinations require buying a new eSIM instead.

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.

eSimHero: An installed eSIM cannot be moved to another device, and a deleted profile may not be reinstallable; contact support before removing an eSIM.

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.

eSimHero: Checkout in USD, GBP or EUR; the default follows the site language (English → USD) and can be switched. A prepaid wallet locks to one currency at its first top-up.
