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.

Global YO: Full refund within 30 days for unused (not activated) eSIM. Purchases are generally non-refundable once the product is delivered, except where required by applicable consumer-protection law or app-store rules.

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).

Global YO: A 1-day eSIM is valid for 24 hours from activation, not until midnight.

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).

Global YO: -Basic Unlimited:1 GB/day of high-speed data - Premium Unlimited:2 GB/day of high-speed data. After that, speeds drop to about 512 kbps, but the plan stays unlimited and data keeps working.

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).

Global YO: Top up an active eSIM anytime from the "My eSIM" area.

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.

Global YO: No — if the eSIM is deleted, the device is lost, factory-reset, or you switch phones, the QR code is single-use and the eSIM can’t be reinstalled. What to do instead: 1. Buy a new eSIM in the app, or 2. Contact support to review replacement options

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.

Global YO: Customers are charged in USD at checkout.
