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.

Giga.tel: Full refund only if the eSIM hasn't been installed and no data was used - contact within 5 days of purchase with your order number. If a technical issue (won't download, won't connect) can't be resolved, a refund/partial refund may still be given.

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).

Giga.tel: Standard eSIM plans: validity starts when the plan is activated, not at purchase (confirmed at checkout). A separate 'Connectivity' plan type instead starts immediately 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).

Giga.tel: Unlimited plans carry a fair-use policy - each plan's own page shows its Daily Allowance and the post-threshold speed; there's no single sitewide GB/day figure or throttle speed.

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).

Giga.tel: Add a top-up or a new plan to the same reusable eSIM at any time without reinstalling - just keep the eSIM profile on your device rather than deleting it.

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.

Giga.tel: If a technical/connectivity issue arises, support will troubleshoot or issue a replacement when eligible. Exception: the 'Connectivity' plan type can't be replaced if not installed within 24 hours of receiving the QR code.

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.

Giga.tel: Prices are shown in USD; Brazil-based customers are charged in Brazilian Reais at a locked exchange rate shown before payment, with no extra currency-conversion fee from Giga.tel.
